Delaney Yosemite 400 Series - Towel Bar Set

The Yosemite 400 Series towel bar set is offered in 18 inch and 24 inch bar lengths, and both lengths come in all three finishes: US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, and US12P Tuscany Bronze. The 18 inch works for a powder room or a narrow wall run beside a vanity; the 24 inch is the more common full-bath size where a bath sheet has to hang without folding over itself.

Delaney lists the Yosemite 400 Series towel bar set as residential. That makes it a fit for apartments, single family rentals, and condo units. For a hotel corridor bath, a gym, or a public restroom where the bar gets pulled on hard and gets grab-bar treatment it was never meant for, spec a commercial bath accessory line instead.

The Yosemite 400 Series starts at 18 inches, so it is the wrong part for a wall run under that. The Deltana 88TB12 in the 88 Series is a 12 inch solid brass bar and is the short option to look at.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel bar set is a single bar. Where one set of mounting posts has to carry two towels, a double bar covers it: the Emtek Traditional Brass Double Towel Bar in the Traditional Bath Hardware line, or the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar in the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware line. Both put a second bar on the same brackets, which is the usual answer in a guest bath or a multi-family unit bath where wall run is short.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel bar set is offered in an 18 inch size, and several 18 inch towel bars from other lines cover the same length. The Deltana 55D2002/18 is an 18 inch towel bar in the 55D Series, solid brass. The Deltana 98C2002/18 is an 18 inch Classic towel bar in the 98C Series, also solid brass. The Deltana BBN2002/18 is an 18 inch towel bar in the BBN Series. All three land on the same 18 inch bar length, so the decision comes down to series styling and mounting post appearance rather than reach across the wall.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel bar set starts at 18 inches. Where the space between a door casing and a vanity will not take that, the Deltana 88TB12 is a 12 inch towel bar in the 88 Series, solid brass, and is the short-run option in the comparable range. Contractors run into this on powder rooms and half baths where the only clear wall is beside the toilet.

US15 Satin Nickel is one of the three Yosemite 400 finishes, along with US26 Polished Chrome and US12P Tuscany Bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so a US15 bar is specified to the same finish number as US15 lever and hinge hardware rather than to a brand-specific marketing name. For a property manager standardizing a unit turn, ordering by the US number is what keeps the bath and the doors reading as one package.

Deltana is the solid brass route. The 55D2002/18 in the 55D Series and the 98C2002/18 in the 98C Classic Series are both 18 inch solid brass bars, and the 88 Series 88TB12 is a 12 inch solid brass bar if the wall run is short. Brass costs more per unit but is the usual pick on a custom bath where the owner is paying for the material, rather than a rental turn.

The Yosemite 400 Series works for that. Two lengths, 18 and 24 inch, and three finishes in each, so you can run the 24 inch in the full baths and the 18 inch in the half baths and keep a single finish code across the whole property. Pick the finish once, US26, US15, or US12P, and every unit orders against the same two line items for the life of the building.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel bar set is a residential product. For an institutional or MRO buyer speccing a public restroom, that is the deciding fact - the residential bath hardware families, including the Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar and the Emtek Transitional Brass Towel Bar, are the same class of decorative bath hardware and belong in guest suites, apartments and hospitality bathrooms rather than a high-traffic public washroom.

Both are sold as complete towel bar sets. The Orca Hardware range carries two Swirl sets on distinct series numbers - the 27 Series and the 36-Swirl Series - plus the 48 Series Blakely towel bar set, so the choice inside Orca is a styling family rather than a different kind of part. The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series is its own series design and is offered in 18 inch and 24 inch bar lengths, which is the practical point of comparison when the bar has to fit a fixed wall run.

Careful here - they look like a match and are not. The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel bar set is finished US12P Tuscany Bronze, a plated decorative bronze finish. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar sits in the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware line, a sandcast product family with its own finish range and surface character. Mixing the two on adjacent walls of the same bathroom will read as two different bronzes. Where a bathroom needs a bar plus a matching ring or hook, keep the whole set inside one series.

A set means the bar plus its two mounting posts and the fasteners that anchor them, so it installs as one assembly. The Yosemite 400 ships that way in each finish and length. What it does not include is blocking or a wall anchor sized for your substrate, which is the part that decides whether the bar survives. On drywall with no stud behind it, add toggle anchors.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel bar set is a single-bar set in 18 inch and 24 inch lengths. On the styling side, the Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar sits in the Modern Brass Bath Hardware family and the Emtek Transitional Brass Towel Bar in the Transitional Bath Hardware family, so a remodeler working to a modern or transitional bathroom package has a single-bar option in each without changing to a double bar.

Among the 18 inch bars in the same range as the Delaney Yosemite 400 Series, the Deltana 55D2002/18 in the 55D Series and the Deltana 98C2002/18 Classic in the 98C Series are both described as solid brass, and the 12 inch Deltana 88TB12 in the 88 Series is solid brass as well. The Deltana BBN2002/18 is an 18 inch bar in the BBN Series. For a property manager buying for units where towels get pulled on hard, material construction is often the deciding attribute over series styling.
