Delaney - 5/8" Diameter Towel Bar Only

That is exactly what this part is for. The Delaney 5/8 inch bar is sold on its own so you can swap a bent or broken rod into brackets that are already anchored, no patching and no repainting. Match the finish and the length you have now: 18 inch or 24 inch, in Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel, Satin Brass, Black or Tuscany Bronze. Measure the existing bar end to end and check the post sockets take a 5/8 inch rod.

No. The bar length has to match the bracket spacing already on the wall, because the rod seats into both posts and there is no adjustment in it. Measure center to center between your existing posts, or measure the old rod end to end, then order the matching 18 inch or 24 inch bar in your finish. Getting this wrong means pulling anchors and repairing the wall.

The Deltana 55D2002/18 is an 18 inch towel bar in the 55D Series, solid brass, and the Deltana BBN2002/18 is an 18 inch towel bar in the BBN Series. Both land at the same 18 inch length the Delaney bar offers, so on a single-towel bath where the mounting centers are already set for an 18 inch bar, either is a like-for-like swap on length. The Delaney bar is a 5/8 inch diameter bar and comes in US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, US4 Satin Brass, US19 Black, and US12P Tuscany Bronze, so match the finish family first if the room already has Delaney trim on the door hardware.

The Delaney 5/8 inch diameter item is the bar alone, meant for replacing a broken or bent bar on posts that are still mounted. For a fresh wall with nothing on it, order a complete set instead: the Orca Hardware 27 Series Swirl towel bar set in the 27-Cypress Series, the Orca Hardware 36 Series Swirl towel bar set in the 36-Swirl Series, the Orca Hardware 48 Series Blakely towel bar set in the 48-Blakely Series, or the Orca Hardware Camano 24 inch towel bar set in the 37-Camano Series. This is the most common ordering mistake on a bar-only part, and it is worth confirming what is already on the wall before the truck rolls.

No. It is specified as residential hardware, so it belongs in apartments, condos, single family homes and unit bathrooms rather than in a public restroom that has to take institutional abuse and code-driven grab and accessory requirements. For a multi-family turn where the bathroom is inside the unit, it is a fair fit; for a lobby or shared restroom, buy accessories built for commercial duty.

Both the 18 inch and 24 inch Delaney bars are made in all five finishes, so you can hold one length across a building and still match brass, chrome, nickel, black or bronze trim room by room. The reverse also works: pick one finish for the whole property and change only the length by bathroom size. Note the finishes are the standard US codes, US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, US4 Satin Brass, US19 Black and US12P Tuscany Bronze, so they read against the door hardware already in the unit.

A single bar hangs one full-size towel per person and keeps a shallow profile against the wall. A double bar carries two rods on the same pair of posts, which is what you want in a bath two people share or in a kids bathroom where towels never get spread out to dry. The Delaney 5/8 inch bar is a single rod. For double, Emtek makes the Sandcast Bronze Double Towel Bar and the Traditional Brass Double Towel Bar.

The Delaney 5/8 inch diameter bar covers 18 inch and 24 inch in the same five finishes across both lengths, US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, US4 Satin Brass, US19 Black, and US12P Tuscany Bronze, so one finish decision carries across a mixed-size portfolio and stocked spares are just the bar. Note it is a residential-duty item. If a unit needs a length outside that pair, the Deltana 88TB12 covers 12 inch and the Deltana 55D2002/18 and BBN2002/18 cover 18 inch in solid brass and the BBN Series respectively.

On length, yes. The Deltana 98C2002/18 is an 18 inch towel bar in the 98C Series Classic, solid brass, matching the 18 inch Delaney on span. Two things to check before you commit: the Deltana 98C is a limited item, so plan the finish and length in one order rather than backfilling later, and the Delaney is the bar by itself while the 98C is a Classic series piece with its own styling. On a bath being refreshed end to end, the 98C is a fair swap; on a repair where only the bar failed, the Delaney bar-only is what drops into the existing posts.

US12P Tuscany Bronze is the warm dark option in the Delaney 5/8 inch bar, and US19 Black is the flat dark one if your faucet and door levers are matte black rather than bronze. Both are stocked in 18 inch and 24 inch. For brushed fixtures, US15 Satin Nickel is the match; US4 Satin Brass for warm brass, US26 Polished Chrome for bright chrome.

Deltana lists several solid brass bars: the 55D2002/18 in the 55D Series and the 98C2002/18 Classic, both 18 inch, plus the BBN2002/18 in the BBN Series. Emtek's Modern Brass and Transitional Brass bars are the other brass route. All of those are complete bars rather than a replacement rod, so they mount to a bare wall.

The Delaney 5/8 inch diameter bar comes in US19 Black and US12P Tuscany Bronze in both 18 inch and 24 inch. If a cast bronze look is what the drawing calls for instead of a plated dark finish, the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar sits in the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware series and is a double bar. The Emtek Transitional Brass Towel Bar in the Transitional Bath Hardware series is the single-bar option in that brass family.
