Deltana 88TB24 Towel Bar, 24", 88 Series, Solid Brass

Projection is 3-1/8 inches from the finished wall, with a 2-5/8 inch base width at each post. In a tight powder room or next to an in-swinging door, that 3-1/8 inches is the number to check against your clearance before you set the posts.

Solid brass, both the bar and the posts. That matters in a shower-adjacent or high-humidity bathroom, where plated steel tube tends to rust through from the inside at the post joints.

The 88TB24 is the 24 inch bar in Deltana's 88 Series. The 24 inch call-out is the bar length, not the post center-to-center, so it will not land both posts on studs at 24 inch on center. Plan on hollow-wall anchors or blocking for at least one post, or both if the wall is already closed up.

The Deltana 88TB24 is a single-bar towel bar. For a double bar in the same bath-accessory family, Emtek offers the Traditional Brass Double Towel Bar and the Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar. Both carry two rails for twice the hanging length in the same wall footprint, which is the usual answer in hospitality or multi-family baths where one bar will not handle the towel count.

Two other 24-inch towel bars run alongside the Deltana 88TB24, which is a 24-inch solid brass bar in the 88 Series: the Delaney Congaree 200 Series 24-inch Towel Bar Set and the Orca Hardware Camano 24-inch Towel Bar Set. Both are sold as complete sets, so a property manager replacing a single bar on an existing post spacing gets the bar plus mounting posts in one line item, while the Deltana is specified as a brass 88 Series bar at the same 24-inch size.

Two to watch. The Delaney Cascade 300 Series item is a Towel Bar Only (Square) - the rail without posts - and the Delaney Denali 1100 Series item is a Towel Bar Post Only, meaning mounting posts with no rail. Neither will hang a towel on its own. The Deltana 88TB24 is specified as a 24-inch towel bar with a 2-5/8 inch base width and 3-1/8 inch projection, so order it when you need the assembly rather than a replacement piece.

The Deltana 88TB24 is a 24-inch bar. For a longer run, the Sure-Loc Brighton towel bar is a 30-inch bar, and the Sure-Loc Baden and Boulder towel bars are each offered in 18, 24 or 30 inch, which lets you keep one series across mixed wall widths in the same building.

Two finishes: Brushed Nickel and Polished Chrome. If you are matching existing trim across a building, brushed nickel pairs with satin-nickel faucets and levers, polished chrome with chrome.

Deltana classes the 88 Series as commercial, and the solid brass construction is why. It gets specified in hospitality guest baths, multi-family units, and office washrooms as well as homes. For a heavy-traffic public restroom you would normally still look at a bolted-through institutional bar rather than a decorative one.

It is part of the 88 Series, Deltana's contemporary solid brass bath collection, so it suites with the other 88 Series pieces (paper holder, ring, hooks) in the same finish. If you are standardizing units, order the whole room from the 88 Series rather than mixing series, since post shape and base profile differ between Deltana collections.

The Sure-Loc Basic Towel Bar is the plainer option, and the Sure-Loc Baden and Boulder towel bars are each offered in 18, 24 or 30 inch, so an MRO buyer can hold one series and cover three bath widths. The Deltana 88TB24 is a fixed 24-inch solid brass bar in the contemporary 88 bath collection, so it suits a job standardized on one length and a brass finish set.

The Deltana 88TB24 belongs to the contemporary 88 bath collection. For a different design language, Emtek's Traditional Brass and Transitional Brass towel bars sit in their Traditional and Transitional bath hardware lines, and Orca Hardware offers the 36 Series Swirl and 48 Series Blakely towel bar sets along with the 27 Cypress Series. Each carries its own profile while serving the same function as a wall-mounted towel bar.

The Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar is the near neighbor - a brass bar from Emtek's Modern Brass bath hardware line. The Deltana 88TB24 is also solid brass, in a 24-inch length, and comes in Brushed Nickel and Polished Chrome, so choose between them on the finish you are matching to the rest of the bath.

It ships as one complete unit, priced each. Some competing lines split it up, for instance the Delaney Cascade 300 Series is sold as bar only and the Delaney Denali 1100 Series as post only, so with those you are ordering two line items. With the Deltana you order one.

The 88TB24 is fixed at 24 inches, so for a wider run look at a 30 inch bar instead. The Sure-Loc Brighton is a 30 inch bar, and the Sure-Loc Baden and Boulder are both offered in a 30 inch length.
