Delaney Yosemite 400 Series - Towel Ring

Residential. Delaney rates the Yosemite 400 Series bath accessories for residential use, which puts it in apartments, single family, and multi-family unit bathrooms rather than a public or high-traffic commercial restroom. For a facility washroom that takes constant public use, spec commercial-grade bath accessories instead.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel ring is a towel ring sold in three finishes: US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, and US12P Tuscany Bronze. For a like-for-like swap, the Deltana 88TR6 is a 6 inch towel ring in the 88 Series, built of solid brass. The Orca Hardware 2760 Cypress towel ring, from the 27-Cypress Series, is another one-for-one towel ring replacement. All three mount as a single wall-hung ring, so the decision comes down to which ring profile and finish family you are matching on the rest of the bath.

Several towel rings in the same class are built of solid brass: the Deltana 88TR6, a 6 inch ring in the 88 Series; the Deltana 98C2008, a 6 inch Classic ring in the 98C Series; and the Emtek Modern Brass towel ring from the Modern Brass Bath Hardware line. Emtek also builds a Traditional Brass towel ring and a Transitional Brass towel ring in its Traditional and Transitional bath hardware lines. If a spec sheet calls out brass construction by name, those are the ones to quote.

Four peer towel rings state a size in their part description: the Deltana 88TR6 at 6 inch, the Deltana 98C2008 at 6 inch, the Deltana BBN2008 at 6-1/4 inch, and the Deltana BBS2008 at 6-1/2 inch. If the drawing calls for a dimensioned towel ring, those are the ones you can quote a number from directly, and the BBN and BBS give you a slightly larger ring than the 6 inch models.

Yes, and that's the usual reason property managers pick a single series. The Yosemite 400 towel ring is offered in Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel, and Tuscany Bronze, so you standardize on one code across every unit and reorder against the same series name years later instead of trying to match a discontinued one-off.

Delaney's Yosemite 400 ring is the builder-grade pick. If you want solid brass construction, 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 ring in the 98C Classic series. Deltana also lists the BBN2008 at 6-1/4 inches and the BBS2008 at 6-1/2 inches if you want a slightly wider ring.

The Yosemite 400 ring covers it in US12P Tuscany Bronze. For a heavier, more forged look, the Emtek Sandcast Bronze towel ring is the sandcast bronze bath hardware option, and Emtek also lists Traditional Brass, Transitional Brass, and Modern Brass rings if you're building a suite around a particular door hardware line.

Orca Hardware builds four towel rings, each in its own design series: the 2760 Cypress in the 27-Cypress Series, the 3660 Swirl in the 36-Swirl Series, the 4860 Blakely in the 48-Blakely Series, and the 9160 Waldron in the 91-Waldron Series. Like the Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel ring, each is a wall-mounted ring, so the choice is a styling one: Delaney runs the Yosemite look in US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, and US12P Tuscany Bronze, while Orca separates its looks into four named series.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel ring is offered in US12P Tuscany Bronze. If you want a bronze towel ring from a different maker, the Emtek Sandcast Bronze towel ring comes from Emtek's Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware line, which is a cast bronze body rather than a plated finish over brass. That difference shows up in the surface texture and how the piece ages, so confirm which look the rest of the room is set up for before you standardize on one.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel ring is specified as residential. For a multi-family unit bath, a model apartment, or a hospitality guest room it fits that use. If you are outfitting a public or high-traffic commercial restroom, size the decision on that difference first and confirm the duty rating on whatever you specify before you standardize a facility on it.

Emtek splits its towel rings by design line rather than by size. The Emtek Modern Brass towel ring belongs to the Modern Brass Bath Hardware series, the Emtek Traditional Brass towel ring to the Traditional Bath Hardware series, the Emtek Transitional Brass towel ring to the Transitional Bath Hardware series, and the Emtek Sandcast Bronze towel ring to the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware series. Pick the line that matches the door and cabinet hardware already going into the unit, since each line carries its own styling across the whole bath set.

The Deltana 98C2008 is a 6 inch Classic towel ring in the 98C Series and is described as Limited, which points to a restricted run rather than a core catalog item. For a fleet standard you want to re-order the same part for years, a series with an ongoing lineup is the steadier choice: the Deltana 88TR6 in the 88 Series, the Deltana BBN2008 at 6-1/4 inch, or the Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel ring in US26 Polished Chrome, US15 Satin Nickel, or US12P Tuscany Bronze.

The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel ring is sold in US15 Satin Nickel, alongside US26 Polished Chrome and US12P Tuscany Bronze, so it can be ordered in satin nickel directly by finish code. The Emtek and Deltana brass rings and the Orca rings are identified by series rather than by a finish code in the same way, so if the spec is written to a US finish number, ordering to the Delaney code keeps the paperwork clean.

A towel ring like the Yosemite 400 holds one hand towel and takes up a fraction of the wall a bar does, so it's what goes beside a vanity or in a powder room where there isn't a clear run of wall. A bar is for bath sheets and drying, and it needs the length. Most bathrooms get both: ring at the sink, bar at the tub.

The towel ring is ordered on its own, one ring per finish selection. Pick the finish and that's the only choice to make. If you want the rest of the bathroom to match, the other Yosemite 400 Series bath accessories carry the same finish codes.

No. The Delaney Yosemite 400 Series towel ring is a towel ring, and so are the Deltana 88TR6, the Emtek Modern Brass towel ring, and the Orca 2760 Cypress. A ring holds a single hand towel at a vanity; it does not give you the run of a bath towel bar or the single-point catch of a robe hook. If the drawing calls for a bar or hook, a towel ring is not the substitute, even from the matching series.
