Emtek Sandcast Bronze Paper Holder - Spring Rod Style

Projection is 3 inches on every version of the Sandcast Bronze spring rod paper holder. That is the number to check against a vanity edge, a door swing, or a toilet that sits close to a side wall, since the roll itself adds nothing past the post. All 15 orderable combinations share the same 3 inch projection, so the finish and rosette you pick do not change the clearance.

The rosette is the wall plate the post mounts to, and Emtek offers this paper holder on five of them: #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6. Pick the one that matches the rosette already used on your Sandcast Bronze knobs, levers and towel bars in the same room so the backplates read as one set. The holder itself is the same spring rod design at 3 inch projection regardless of which rosette you choose, so this is purely a styling decision.

Three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection finishes, so ordering the same code as the door hardware and bath accessories already in the room is what keeps the bathroom consistent. All three are available on every one of the five rosettes.

The Deltana 88DTPH is a solid brass toilet paper holder in Deltana's 88 Series, and it covers the same wall-mounted single-roll job in a plainer profile than the Emtek sandcast bronze piece. The Emtek unit is cast bronze with a rustic sandcast texture and mounts on a choice of #1, #2, #3, #4 or #6 rosette; the Deltana 88DTPH is a solid brass body in a single fixed design. Pick the Emtek when the rest of the bath or door hardware is sandcast bronze and the rosette needs to match; pick the 88DTPH when you want a straight brass holder without matching a rosette family.

The Deltana 55D2001 and the Deltana BBN2001 are both single post toilet paper holders, so the roll drops onto an open post rather than requiring a spring rod to be compressed and lifted out of two brackets. The 55D2001 is solid brass in the 55D Series; the BBN2001 is in the BBN Series. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze holder is a spring rod style, where the rod is captured between two rosette-mounted posts. For a high-turnover restroom or a rental unit where housekeeping changes rolls constantly, the single post design of the 55D2001 or BBN2001 removes the loose rod from the equation.

The Orca Hardware 3655 Swirl Euro and the Orca Hardware 5255 Ripple Euro are Euro style toilet paper holders, which carry the roll on a fixed open arm with no removable rod. The 3655 is in Orca's 36-Swirl Series and the 5255 is in the 52-Ripple Series. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Paper Holder uses a spring rod that lifts free of the rosettes to change the roll, which is what a property manager loses to a tenant or a guest. For multi-family common areas or hospitality, the fixed arm 3655 or 5255 eliminates the part that walks off; keep the Emtek where the rustic bronze look is the point.

Sandcast bronze. The substrate is bronze, not a plated pot metal or a plastic core, which is why the finishes are named as bronze tones rather than paint colors. Sandcasting leaves a slightly irregular surface texture, part of the rustic look this collection is built around.

It is a wall mount holder, so the rosette fastens flat to the wall and the post carries the roll off it. On drywall you need blocking or a proper anchor behind each rosette, because a sandcast bronze holder plus a full roll pulls on the fasteners every time someone tears a sheet. On tile, drill and anchor through the tile into the substrate.

A spring rod holder carries the roll on a sprung rod that spans between two arms. You compress the rod, drop the roll on, and let it out. Nothing unscrews and nothing is left loose on the counter. A single post style, like the Deltana 55D2001 or the BBN2001, cantilevers off one arm so the roll slides on from the open end, which is faster to reload but lets a roll get knocked off. Some holders instead use a plastic tube on the rod, as on the Orca Hardware 2752 and the 4852 Blakely. The Emtek is metal rod, no plastic.

Not reliably. The five rosette options (#1, #2, #3, #4, #6) differ in shape and size, and none of them are specified to a standard hole pattern, so treat this as a fresh install: patch and paint the old holes, then set the new rosettes where the 3 inch projection clears your vanity and toilet. If you are matching an existing Emtek Sandcast Bronze rosette elsewhere in the room, order that same rosette number.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Paper Holder is a residential bath accessory in the Sandcast Bronze collection, intended for homes, boutique units and residential-grade traffic rather than a public restroom. For a heavier-use washroom, a fixed arm Euro holder such as the Orca Hardware 3655 Swirl or 5255 Ripple has no removable rod to lose, and the single post Deltana BBN2001 or solid brass 55D2001 give a simpler roll change. Reserve the Emtek sandcast bronze piece for residential baths where it matches the door hardware.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Paper Holder is part of the Sandcast Bronze bath hardware collection, a bronze rustic design offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze with rosettes #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, so it matches Emtek sandcast bronze knobs and levers on the same rosette. The Euro style Orca Hardware 3655 Swirl and 5255 Ripple are contemporary forms that will not read as rustic next to sandcast bronze door hardware. For a brass-trimmed rustic bath, the Deltana 98C2001 classic double post in solid brass is the nearer stylistic neighbor.

The Deltana 98C2001 is a classic double post toilet paper holder in solid brass, part of the 98C Series. Like the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Paper Holder, it carries the roll between two wall-mounted posts rather than on a single arm, so the mounting footprint is two points on the wall and the roll sits centered between them. The difference is material and finish family: the Emtek piece is bronze in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze; the 98C2001 is solid brass. Note the 98C2001 is a limited item, so on a multi-unit rollout confirm quantity before you spec it across a building.

Not the same construction. The Orca Hardware 2752, in the 27-Cypress Series, and the Orca Hardware 4852 Blakely, in the 48-Blakely Series, both hold the roll on a plastic tube. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Paper Holder is a spring rod style with a metal rod between the rosettes. If you have been replacing broken plastic tubes and want to stop, the Emtek spring rod is the different animal; if you are matching existing Orca hardware in a bathroom, the 2752 and 4852 are the ones that take the plastic tube.
