Delaney Acadia 900 Series - Towel Ring

Five finishes: US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, US4 Satin Brass, US19 Black, and US12P Tuscany Bronze. Those are standard finish codes, so if the towel bars, robe hooks, and lever sets already in the unit are called out by the same US number, the ring will read as a match. For a multi-unit refresh, pick one code and order every opening and bath to it rather than matching by finish name, since names vary between manufacturers but the US code does not.

The Acadia 900 towel ring is a residential-duty product. For guest baths in an apartment or a single-family rental it is the right class of part. For a high-traffic commercial washroom, a public restroom, or anywhere subject to abuse and grab loads, specify commercial-duty bath accessories instead.

Yes, the towel ring is part of the same Acadia 900 Series, so it is styled to run with the rest of that family and shares the finish codes. Order the ring in the same US finish as the door hardware, US15 Satin Nickel with US15 levers, and the two will read as one set.

The Deltana 88TR6 is a 6 inch towel ring in Deltana's 88 Series, built in solid brass. Like the Acadia 900 Series towel ring, it is a ring-style bath accessory rather than a bar, so it occupies the same wall space beside a lavatory. The Acadia towel ring is offered in US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, US4 Satin Brass, US19 Black, and US12P Tuscany Bronze; the 88TR6 is a solid brass ring in the 88 Series. If a property manager is standardizing bath hardware across units and wants a stated ring diameter on the paperwork, the 88TR6 publishes 6 inches.

Two Deltana rings publish larger diameters. The Deltana BBN2008 is a 6-1/4 inch towel ring in the BBN Series, and the Deltana BBS2008 is a 6-1/2 inch towel ring in the BBS Series. Both are ring-style like the Acadia 900 Series towel ring, so the mounting footprint on the wall is comparable and the extra size shows up in how much of a bath towel drapes clear of the wall. For a hospitality or multi-family bath where guests hang a full-size towel rather than a hand towel, the 6-1/2 inch BBS2008 gives the most drape of the peer rings that state a diameter.

No. The Acadia 900 Series towel ring in US12P Tuscany Bronze is a finish applied to the Acadia design, one of five finishes it comes in alongside US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, US4 Satin Brass, and US19 Black. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Towel Ring is a different product from the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware line, where the sand casting gives a textured surface rather than the smooth body a plated finish produces. A property manager replacing one ring on a wall of matching Acadia pieces should stay with US12P Tuscany Bronze rather than substituting the sandcast part.

A towel ring holds one hand towel folded over a loop and takes maybe 6 to 8 inches of wall. A towel bar is 18 to 24 inches or more and is meant for a full bath towel to hang open and dry. In a powder room or beside a vanity where the towel is decorative and gets a quick wipe, the Acadia ring is the correct part. In a shower bath where a body towel has to dry between uses, a ring will not do it, and you want a bar.

Deltana's brass rings are the direct step across. The 88TR6 is a 6 inch solid brass ring in the 88 Series, and the 98C2008 is a 6 inch solid brass Classic ring in the 98C Series. Deltana also lists the BBN2008 at 6-1/4 inches and the BBS2008 at 6-1/2 inches if you want slightly more loop. Emtek's Modern Brass, Traditional Brass, and Transitional Brass towel rings cover the same material in three different styling families.

Finish is the only choice to make. The Acadia 900 towel ring is ordered by finish alone, one of the five US codes, with no handing, size, or projection option to call out. Give the finish and the part is fully specified.

The Acadia 900 Series towel ring is a residential product. Where a specifier wants a solid brass body called out on the submittal, the Deltana 88TR6 is a 6 inch solid brass towel ring in the 88 Series, and the Deltana 98C2008 is a 6 inch solid brass towel ring in the 98C Series. Emtek's Sandcast Bronze Towel Ring, from the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware line, is a cast bronze alternative. All three are ring-style accessories and mount in the same place beside a lavatory, so a swap does not change the rough layout of the bath.

Emtek's Traditional Brass Towel Ring sits in the Traditional Bath Hardware line, and the Deltana 98C2008 is the Classic 6 inch towel ring in the 98C Series. On the Orca side, the 2760 Cypress Towel Ring comes from the 27-Cypress Series and the 9160 Waldron Towel Ring from the 91-Waldron Series. Each is a decorative ring in a named design family, which matters when a remodeler is matching a towel ring to a robe hook and paper holder from the same series rather than mixing styles across a bath.

Emtek's Modern Brass Towel Ring belongs to the Modern Brass Bath Hardware line and the Emtek Transitional Brass Towel Ring to the Transitional Bath Hardware line. Orca's 3660 Swirl Towel Ring, from the 36-Swirl Series, and the 4860 Blakely Towel Ring, from the 48-Blakely Series, are the other contemporary-leaning named designs. The Acadia 900 Series towel ring carries the Acadia 900 Series styling and is offered in US26 Polished Chrome and US19 Black among its finishes, which is often close enough for a modern bath without changing brands.

They are not the same part. The Deltana 88TR6 is a 6 inch solid brass towel ring in the 88 Series, and the Deltana 98C2008 is a 6 inch solid brass Classic towel ring in the 98C Series. Both state 6 inches, but they are separate design families, so the post, backplate profile, and ring shape differ and they will not read as a matched set if a bath already has other pieces from one series. Order by the series that matches the rest of the bath hardware, the way the Acadia 900 Series towel ring is ordered as part of the Acadia 900 Series.

Satin Nickel (US15) is the practical pick of the five. Satin surfaces hide water spotting and fingerprints far better than polished, so US26 Polished Chrome will show every drip on a hard-water line. US19 Black and US12P Tuscany Bronze also hide marks but show mineral residue lighter against the dark finish. For a fleet of units where the maintenance crew wipes down fast, satin nickel is the least demanding.

The Acadia 900 ring itself comes in US12P Tuscany Bronze, which is the in-family option. If you want cast bronze rather than a bronze-toned finish, Emtek's Sandcast Bronze Towel Ring is the alternative. Orca Hardware also runs several styled ring series, the 2760 Cypress, 3660 Swirl, 4860 Blakely, and 9160 Waldron, if the look matters more than the material.
