You kind of glossed over the hardest part (for me anyway) which is finding the studs through the tile and then figuring out exactly what angle and what place the bar goes to hit them. I also have to question how you hit a 1.5" stud with three screws when the plate is something like 3" in diameter. Every house I have ever owned is framed with 2 x 4's on 16" centers. IF I find the studs on the first drill hole and line two of the holes up and hit that stud, then, the last screw 3" to the left or to the right is NOT going to hit any stud. Did I miss something in the explanation?

@matthewsalomone3800 2 года назад

Exactly.

@cory9170 2 года назад

I think for the off-stud holes, the idea is to angle the screws inward in order to hit the stud.

@digi3218 Год назад

He only used two screws each I believe. Line them up so they both fall onto the stud. I am wondering as well if a stud finder would even work with tile.

@@digi3218 a stud finder won’t work. You can use a really strong magnet to find the screws behind the tile from the hardiebacker. And 1 screw to each stud is strong enough to hold the bar

@jasonturner5190 5 лет назад

When I install grab bars and/or other hardware in a tub/shower area, I always recommend and use stainless steel screws. Non-stainless steel screws have the tendency to rust, eventually break, and could cause streak stains. I also apply a little bit of kitchen & bath adhesive caulking to the back of the mounting plate to make it water tight and prevent water from making its way to inside the drilled holes.

You can add a rubber gasket over the drill bit. It absorbs the impact when the drill bit makes its way through and the chuck slams into the tile.

@digi3218 Год назад

Yeah stainless screws is the way to go.. I personally would squeeze silicon into the hole until it's full and put the screw in and wipe off the excess. Sounds like a good idea to me.

@billhandymanbill2775 8 месяцев назад

Yes, depending on the stud finder brand/model, they sometime can penetrate the thickness of the wall will the tiles added.

@mediaadrenaline 2 года назад

He obviously did not cover locating the studs which is the most important part of the job. A stud finder will not work through tile. If the tile does not go all the way to the ceiling, then mark your studs with a studfinder above the tile then, using a level, follow a straight line down from where you found the studs up top. Now, if the tile goes all the way to the ceiling, then you’ll need to use toggles. DO NOT USE EXPANDING ANCHORS- they will crack the tile.

@andreabasney 2 года назад

@@mediaadrenaline Wonder if a stud finder would work through a fiberglass surround?

@robertsiefker417 2 года назад

@@andreabasney Fiberglass surrounds have a nailing flange at the top and side edges. When installed, the walls of the surround stand off from the wall by 1.5-2 inches. You need a brace between the stud and surround wall. Very challenging to do from shower side. Easier if you have access from the other side of the wall. Consider removable suction device or call a carpenter who knows how to do it. VERY challenging DIY project.

Falling sucks at any age, but when people get older its much worse. My 83-yr-old uncle just fell and broke his hip (although, it was in a hallway at his assisted living facility-- his foot hit the leg of a couch in the hallway & he tripped). He's in a lot of pain right now but is in good spirits at least. He's got a shower with grab bars that he's looking forward to getting back to when he gets out of the hospital. We need to renovate Mom's bathroom and fix it up so she can safely use the shower. She has balance issues and falls easily. I already bought the grab bars and the shower kit but need to tear out the old one, repair/replace subfloor, and add backers for the grab bars once I figure out where she wants them. Moen makes some beautiful grab bars. I got some of their Home Care ones for Mom's bathroom. The allen keys don't always come in the package, which is so aggravating. And those tiny set screws are a pita. I got a Moen tub spout that needed the allen key but didn't have one included and it didn't even say what size it needed on the box. I had to get one of those multi-set ones and play around with it until I found the right size. Magnets are your friends when dealing with small screws. "Totally set-screwed" LOL!

For older folks, sometimes the hip breaks which causes the fall. Bones get so thin and brittle that they can snap just from walking. Likely some medications cause this condition.

how do you determine where the studs are behind the tile? Maybe you already knew where the studs are since you just installed the tile. I don't think a stud finder will work over tile... I assume there's a stud at the far corner of the shower. Do you just measure 16" over and hope that's the middle of another stud?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

It is pretty common for stud to be vertical at the outside corner of the tub. If you are not renovating and want to add on then this is the best option. If you can't find wood then you should open the wall from the other side if possible to geter,min e the positioning. Worst case scenario you will need to install a new tile wall surround.

@jghartman4482 5 лет назад

You can get an electronic stud finder from a big box store. They are not very expensive and run on AA, or 9V batteries, typically. You place the device on the wall in the area you want to check, push the button to turn it on and then move it slowly until it indicates that it located a stud. They usually have lights or digital displays that indicate either the center or the edge of a stud. Probably better to get one that is center-reading, but it's a personal preference. Anyway, that's just a quick answer, the details for whichever device you buy will give you all the info you need. Fancier ones will tell you if there is something metal behind the surround (perhaps a water pipe), or if you are near electrical wire. Those cost a bit more.

Not all contractors/handymen are created equal. The grab bar probably wasn't installed properly to begin with. If it's just the ring that covers the screws being loose they just pop on the grab bar. May have to clean the old silicone off and put some new silicone on to get it to stay in place. If the main support screws are loose then I recommend getting someone involved who cares about how they work on things.

The only thing holding up that grab bar is the puny little set screws. Does not seem safe to me.

Not yet, I have plans to pick them up but my hardware store does not carry them so I needed to make a trip across town. I will switch them out in a few days., Cheers!

Why didn't you show how you found the wood behind the tiles? Which is one of the most important things about safety grab bar.

Sorry Jeff, but you really need to redo this video with proper installation steps. From finding the 2x4, sealing the drill holes, to as simple as covering the drain so you don't lose screws. Really enjoy your videos though. Keep up the great work.
