Delaney Shenandoah 800 Series - Towel Ring

Delaney classes the Shenandoah 800 Series towel ring as residential. For apartments, single-family rentals, and hospitality guest baths it's the right category. For a high-traffic public restroom, look at commercial washroom accessories instead, which are built for abuse and usually specified with concealed mounting.

The Delaney Shenandoah 800 Series towel ring is a residential wall-mounted towel ring offered in US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, and US12P Tuscany Bronze. If the specification calls out solid brass construction, the Deltana 88TR6 is a 6 inch towel ring in the 88 Series made of solid brass, and the Deltana 98C2008 is a 6 inch Classic towel ring in the 98C Series, also solid brass. Both are towel rings mounted the same way, so the swap is a material and diameter decision rather than a change in function.

Three finishes: US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, and US12P Tuscany Bronze. Those are the only choices, so if you're matching bath accessories to levers already in the unit, pick the US code that matches the door hardware rather than going by the finish name.

The towel ring is part of Delaney's Shenandoah 800 Series, a bath accessory line, so ordering other Shenandoah 800 pieces in the same US finish code keeps a bathroom consistent. That matters most on multi-family turns where you want every unit to look the same.

Several other towel rings cover the same job in different looks. Deltana's 88TR6 is a 6 inch solid brass ring in the 88 Series, and the 98C2008 is a 6 inch Classic solid brass ring; Deltana's BBN2008 (6-1/4 inch) and BBS2008 (6-1/2 inch) run slightly larger. Emtek offers rings in Modern Brass, Traditional, Transitional, and Sandcast Bronze styling. Orca Hardware has the 2760 Cypress, 3660 Swirl, 4860 Blakely, and 9160 Waldron, and Sure-Loc has Basic, Baden, Boulder, and Brighton rings.

Material isn't part of the Shenandoah 800 Series record, so if solid brass is a hard requirement, the Deltana rings are the ones that state it: the 88TR6 (6 inch, 88 Series) and the 98C2008 Classic 6 inch are both listed as solid brass.

They are both wall-mounted towel rings, but they are not the same product. The Delaney Shenandoah 800 Series offers US12P Tuscany Bronze as a plated finish option within the Shenandoah 800 Series, while the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Towel Ring belongs to the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware line, a cast bronze family with its own surface character. If the rest of the bath hardware in the room is Delaney Shenandoah, stay in that series for a finish match; the Emtek is the choice when the suite is Emtek sandcast bronze.

Among towel rings that hang the same way as the Delaney Shenandoah 800 Series, the Deltana BBS2008 in the BBS Series measures 6-1/2 inches and the Deltana BBN2008 in the BBN Series measures 6-1/4 inches, compared with the 6 inch Deltana 88TR6. Where a folded bath towel needs more room on the ring, the BBS2008 is the widest of that group.

The Delaney Shenandoah 800 Series towel ring belongs to the Shenandoah 800 Series and is finished in Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel, or Tuscany Bronze. For a different design language, Emtek offers the Modern Brass Towel Ring in its Modern Brass Bath Hardware line and the Transitional Brass Towel Ring in its Transitional Bath Hardware line, with the Traditional Brass Towel Ring covering traditional trim. Choosing within one of those Emtek lines lets the ring match the rest of the bath suite in the same styling family.

The Delaney Shenandoah 800 Series towel ring is a residential-duty towel ring, so it is a common turn-package item. Sure-Loc offers towel rings in several coordinated lines that can be standardized the same way: the Basic towel ring, the Baden wall mounted towel ring, the Boulder wall mounted towel ring, and the Brighton towel ring. Orca Hardware also offers rings by series, including the 2760 Cypress, 3660 Swirl, 4860 Blakely, and 9160 Waldron. Picking one series and repeating it across units keeps replacements consistent from one bath to the next.

A ring like the Shenandoah 800 takes up far less wall than a bar and suits a spot beside the lavatory for a hand towel. Use a bar where bath towels need to hang flat and dry, typically on the wall near the tub or shower. Many bath accessory lines, including this one, offer both so you can mix them in one finish.
