Emtek Tuscany Bronze Towel Bar

Four bar lengths: 12, 18, 24 and 30 inches. The 12 inch works next to a pedestal sink or in a powder room, 18 and 24 are the common hand-towel and bath-towel sizes, and 30 gives you room to hang a bath sheet folded once. Every length is offered in both bronze finishes and all four rosette styles.

Four rosette styles: #11, #12, #14 and #15. The rosette is the decorative wall plate the bar posts mount to, and Emtek uses the same numbered rosettes across its Tuscany bronze line, so picking the rosette number already on your knobs or levers keeps the bath and the door hardware reading as one set.

Two: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both are Emtek's Tuscany Bronze collection finishes, so ordering the same finish code as your Tuscany knobs or levers is how you get the bath accessories and the doors to match. FB reads as a dark near-black, MB as a warmer mid-tone brown.

Emtek classes the Tuscany bronze bath hardware as residential. For a hotel corridor bath, a gym, or a high-turnover multifamily unit where towel bars get sat on and hung from, a commercial-rated bar anchored into blocking is the safer specification. For an owner-occupied home, a custom remodel, or a higher-end single-family rental, this is the intended application.

Tuscany bronze is a full collection, and the towel bar carries the same two bronze finishes and the same numbered rosettes (#11, #12, #14, #15) used on the Tuscany door hardware. Specify one finish code and one rosette number across the order and the bathrooms will match the doors. Order lengths per room: 12 inch at the powder-room sink, 18 or 24 in the main baths, 30 where a bath sheet hangs.

Three things: length (12, 18, 24 or 30 inches), finish (Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze), and rosette style (#11, #12, #14 or #15). Every one of those combinations is built, so you are not restricted to certain rosettes at certain lengths.

No. The Emtek Tuscany towel bar is sold as a towel bar with its rosette, so it is a full replacement rather than a single bracket. When only a post has failed, the Delaney Denali 1100 Series towel bar post only is the part sold as the post by itself. That is the item to order when the bar itself is sound and one end bracket has pulled or broken.

The Deltana 55D2002/18 is an 18 inch towel bar in the 55D Series built of solid brass, and the Deltana 98C2002/18 is an 18 inch Classic towel bar in the 98C Series, also solid brass. The Emtek Tuscany towel bar is a brass bar in a bronze finish family and is made in 18 inch as well, so either Deltana bar covers the same 18 inch wall opening in the same base metal. Choose on the look of the post and bracket rather than on the bar length, since all three land at 18 inches.

The Emtek Tuscany towel bar is made in a 12 inch width, which is the shortest run in the Tuscany line and the one to use where wall space between a door casing and a vanity is tight. The Deltana 88TB12 is also a 12 inch towel bar, in the 88 Series and solid brass, if a different post style suits the room better. Both give you the same 12 inch mounting span.

The Delaney Congaree 200 Series 501024K is a 24 inch towel bar set, and the Orca Hardware Camano is a 24 inch towel bar set in the 37-Camano Series. Both are sold as sets. The Emtek Tuscany towel bar is also made in a 24 inch width, so all three span the same 24 inches of wall; the difference between them is the bracket design and the collection they belong to.

Projection is 2-1/4 inches from the wall face. That is the number to check against a door swing or a shower glass panel in a tight bathroom, since the bar plus a folded towel will occupy noticeably more than the 2-1/4 inches of the posts themselves.

The bar is brass with a bronze finish, listed as bronze material and substrate. Brass does not rust, which is why it holds up in a wet bathroom where a plated steel bar will bubble and flake at the posts within a few years.

Deltana builds several 18 inch solid brass bars: the 55D2002/18 in the 55D Series, the 98C Series Classic 98C2002/18, and the BBN2002/18 in the BBN Series. All are solid brass like the Emtek, so they suit a wet bath the same way, but they are their own design families and will not match Emtek's Tuscany rosettes.

For a straight 24 inch replacement, Delaney's Congaree 200 Series 24 inch Towel Bar Set and Orca Hardware's Camano 24 inch Towel Bar Set are both offered at that length as complete sets. The Emtek Tuscany 24 inch is the choice when the unit already has Emtek Tuscany bronze door hardware and you want the bath to match, since it shares the collection's two bronze finishes and rosette styles.

A towel bar only is the bar without the accompanying set components, as with the Delaney Cascade 300 Series square towel bar only, while a towel bar set such as the Delaney Acadia 900 Series or the Orca Hardware 48 Series Blakely is supplied as a set. The Emtek Tuscany towel bar is ordered by choosing a width, a rosette number, and a bronze finish, so the rosette is part of the selection you make rather than a separate line. Confirm which form you are ordering before you order for a full bathroom rough-out.

The Emtek Tuscany towel bar is a bronze bar offered in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze, with the Tuscany collection styling, which suits a traditional or transitional bath. For a squared profile instead, the Delaney Cascade 300 Series towel bar only is a square bar. The Orca Hardware 36 Series Swirl and 27-Cypress Series towel bar sets carry their own decorative profiles. Match the towel bar profile to the rest of the bath hardware in the room rather than mixing families on one wall.

The Emtek Tuscany towel bar runs 12, 18, 24 and 30 inch widths in one collection, so studios, standard baths and master baths can all be specified from the same family in either Flat Black Bronze or Medium Bronze. Among the comparables, the individual Deltana bars are each catalogued at a single length, such as the 88TB12 at 12 inches and the BBN2002/18 at 18 inches, so a mixed-length rollout draws on more than one part per length.

The Emtek Tuscany towel bar is designated residential, so it is aimed at homes, apartments and hospitality-style guest baths rather than a high-traffic public washroom. For a commercial restroom you would spec a grab-rated or institutional washroom accessory instead. Within a multi-family building, unit bathrooms are the right application for it.

Not reliably. The Emtek Tuscany towel bar mounts on its own rosette, offered as #11, #12, #14 and #15, and each maker sets its own bracket pattern, so a Deltana 55D Series or a Delaney Congaree 200 Series bar being removed will not have left holes that line up. Plan on patching and re-drilling, or on driving into the existing blocking, when you cross brands on a replacement.

No, it is a plain mechanical towel bar with no electrical component. If a heated rail is what the drawing calls for, this is not the part.
