Deltana R2004 Towel Bar, 30", R-Series

Projection on the R2004 is 3-1/2 inches from the wall face, with an inside projection of 2-5/8 inches. In a tight powder room or a hallway bath where the bar sits opposite a swinging door, that 3-1/2 inch number is the one to check against your clearance. The mounting posts sit on a 2-5/8 inch base.

The R2004 is the 30 inch length in the R-Series, and 30 inches is the overall bar dimension, so allow that much clear wall run plus a little breathing room at each end. The bar itself is 5/8 inch in diameter, which is what determines whether a folded bath sheet hangs cleanly or bunches.

The R2004 is fixed at 30 inches, so for a narrower wall look at a 24 inch bar instead. ZenSupply carries the Delaney Congaree 200 Series 24 inch towel bar set and the Orca Hardware Camano 24 inch towel bar set, both sold as complete sets with posts. Those are the direct short-run substitutes when 30 inches will not fit between a vanity and a door casing.

Not reliably. The R2004's posts sit on a 2-5/8 inch base, so it will hide anchor holes falling within that footprint at each end, but old bars vary in center-to-center spacing and nothing guarantees your existing holes land under the new bases. Plan on new anchors, and on patching if the old pair sits outside the base diameter.

The Deltana R2004 is a 30 inch solid brass towel bar in the R-Series traditional bath collection. The nearest traditional-style peer is the Emtek Traditional Brass Double Towel Bar, from Emtek's Traditional Bath Hardware series, which carries a double bar rather than the single bar of the R2004. If the opening calls for one bar in a traditional profile, the Emtek Transitional Brass Towel Bar in the Transitional Bath Hardware series is a single-bar brass alternative.

Two parts in the same family are components, not whole bars. The Delaney Denali 1100 Series Towel Bar Post Only is a post on its own, and the Delaney Cascade 300 Series Towel Bar Only (Square) is the bar without its posts. The Deltana R2004 is a complete 30 inch towel bar with a 2-5/8 inch base width and 3-1/2 inch projection, so ordering either Delaney part against it leaves the assembly short.

Solid brass, not plated pot metal or a hollow tube over a steel core. Both the material and the substrate on the R2004 are brass, so the finish sits on brass all the way through. That matters in a high humidity bathroom or a coastal property where plated zinc posts pit at the set screw first.

Seven finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Paint Black, and Polished Chrome. The PVD polished brass is worth calling out for multi-family and hospitality work, since PVD is a deposited coating rather than a lacquer and holds up to daily wiping better than standard polished brass.

A single bar like the R2004 hangs one towel per person along a 30 inch run and keeps the projection down to 3-1/2 inches. A double bar carries two towels on the same footprint, which is the usual answer for a shared kids bath or a primary bath with two users, but it stands further off the wall. For the double, ZenSupply carries the Emtek Traditional Brass Double Towel Bar and the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar.

The R2004 sits in Deltana's R-Series traditional bath collection in solid brass. For a modern profile in the same material, the Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar comes from the Modern Brass Bath Hardware series. Square-edged alternatives include the Delaney Cascade 300 Series square towel bar and, as full sets, the Orca Hardware 36 Series Swirl Towel Bar Set and the Orca Hardware 48 Series Blakely Towel Bar Set.

They are scoped differently. The Deltana R2004 is sold as each, a single 30 inch bar in one finish. The Delaney Acadia 900 Series Towel Bar Set, the Orca Hardware 27 Series Swirl Towel Bar Set and the Orca Hardware 48 Series Blakely Towel Bar Set are sold as sets. Confirm what a set includes before matching quantities against a single-bar line item.

Traditional. The R-Series is Deltana's traditional bath collection, so the R2004 reads correctly next to profiled trim, cross handle faucets and older tilework. If the room is contemporary, the Emtek Modern Brass Towel Bar or the Emtek Transitional Brass Towel Bar are the cleaner-lined alternatives ZenSupply stocks, and the Delaney Cascade 300 Series square towel bar goes squared-off rather than round.

Yes, the R-Series is a full bath accessory collection rather than a standalone bar, so the R2004 finishes are shared across the series for matching pieces in the same room. Pick the finish once and carry it through the ring, hook and paper holder in the same series rather than trying to match a Deltana finish to another maker's, since nickel and bronze finishes rarely cross brands cleanly.

The Deltana R2004 is offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze along with PVD Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Paint Black and Polished Chrome. For a cast bronze alternative, the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Brass Double Towel Bar comes from the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware series and carries a double bar.
