Deltana VH65 Valet Hook, 7" Projection

The VH65 valet rod extends 7 inches off the wall when it's out. That's the projection figure, and it's the number that matters in a tight closet or a narrow mud room, since you need 7 inches of clear swing plus room for a hanger and garment in front of it. The mounting base is 3-1/4 inches, so the footprint on the wall itself is small.

Mounting holes on the VH65 are 2-1/8 inches center to center. That's narrower than a 16 inch stud bay, so on a single stud you'll typically catch one hole in framing and need an anchor for the other. In a closet wall with no blocking, use toggles or self-drilling drywall anchors on both, because a loaded valet rod at 7 inches of projection puts real leverage on the fasteners. Screws come in the box.

A valet rod like the VH65 swings out and gives you a 7 inch arm to hang a full outfit on a hanger, then folds back flat when you're done. Use it in closets, wardrobes, and dressing areas where someone lays out clothes. If all you need is a place to hang a towel or a robe on a bathroom or bedroom wall, a fixed hook is simpler and cheaper to install: ZenSupply carries the Emtek 2606 Solid Brass Robe Hook and the Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress Robe Hook for that. For a double hook that takes two garments in one spot, look at the Emtek 2306 Sandcast Bronze Double Hook or the Orca Hardware 4854 Blakely Double Robe Hook.

The VH65 is a residential-duty item. It suits apartment closets, condo units, and guest rooms where the traffic is one household at a time, and the solid brass body holds up better in a humid bath or mud room than a plated pot metal hook. For a corridor, a locker room, a school, or anywhere the public grabs at it all day, spec a commercial coat hook instead. ZenSupply carries the Trimco 3070-1 Coat and Hat Hook and the Trimco 7010 fOCAL Robe Hook and Stop for that kind of duty.

The Deltana VH65 is a solid brass valet hook with a 7 inch projection and a 3-1/4 inch base. If you want the same solid brass material in a fixed hook rather than a retractable arm, the Emtek 2606 Solid Brass Robe Hook in the Traditional Bath Hardware series is the closest brass peer. The difference is what the two do: the VH65 extends a 7 inch arm you hang garments on hangers from, while the 2606 is a stationary robe hook for hanging a robe or towel directly.

The Deltana VH65 has a 7 inch projection because it is built to hold hangers out away from the wall. For a plain coat point behind a door, the Trimco 3070-1 Coat and Hat Hook in the 3070 Series is the simpler part, and the Emtek 25050 Wrought Steel Robe Hook is another single-point option. Both mount flat and take up far less depth than a 7 inch projecting arm.

No. A double robe hook such as the Orca Hardware 4854 Blakely Double Robe Hook or the Orca Hardware 4954 Whidbey Double Robe Hook gives you two hanging points on one wall-mounted base, and the Emtek 2266 SELECT Knurled Tip Double Hook with Rosette does the same on a rosette base. The Deltana VH65 valet hook instead projects a single 7 inch arm from a 3-1/4 inch base, used as a retractable clothes hanger holder in closets, wardrobes, bathrooms, and mud rooms. If the requirement is two robes side by side, a double hook covers it; if the requirement is hanging garments on hangers, it does not.

The Deltana VH65 is a valet hook only, for hanging garments in closets, wardrobes, bathrooms, and mud rooms. If the opening needs a hook that doubles as a door stop, the Trimco 7010 fOCAL Robe Hook and Stop in the 7010 Series combines both functions in one part. That is a different job from the VH65's 7 inch projecting hanger arm, so it is a replacement for the door-mounted stop, not for a closet valet.

Nine finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If you're matching a whole unit or a run of closets, the PVD Polished Brass is the one to pick over standard Polished Brass where hands touch it often, PVD is the harder wearing of the two brass finishes. Screws ship matched to the finish, so the heads don't stand out against the base plate.

Solid brass throughout, not plated zinc or steel. That's why it's rated for bath and mud room use as well as closets, brass won't rust the way a steel core does when the plating gets nicked. If you specifically want a steel or bronze look in the same kind of hook, ZenSupply also stocks the Emtek 25050 Wrought Steel Robe Hook and the Emtek 2306 Sandcast Bronze Double Hook.

The Deltana VH65 is a residential-rated solid brass valet hook with a 7 inch projection, offered in nine finishes including polished chrome, brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and paint black, so it standardizes well where units need a hanger station in a closet or mud room. For the bathroom robe hooks in the same units, the Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress Robe Hook in the 27-Cypress Series and the Orca Hardware 3654 Swirl Robe Hook in the 36-Swirl Series are single-point robe hooks that cover the towel and robe position the projecting valet arm is not intended for.

The Deltana VH65 is solid brass throughout. If the finish scheme calls for another substrate, the Emtek 25050 Wrought Steel Robe Hook is a wrought steel hook in the Wrought Steel Bath Hardware series, and the Emtek 2306 Sandcast Bronze Double Hook is a sandcast bronze part in the Sandcast Bronze Bath Hardware series. Both are wall-mounted hooks rather than projecting valet arms, so plan the hanging point accordingly.

Each, one hook per unit, individually bagged with its own screws. That packaging is worth knowing on a multi unit order, the units arrive ready to hand out one per closet rather than bulk packed loose, so a crew can take one bag per opening. Pick a single finish across the building and the screw heads stay consistent unit to unit.
