Grab Bars - Studs And Spec Hollow Wall Anchors

jmfrederick

I'm having a difficult time finding studs in a floor to ceiling tile wall even while using a deep stud finder. Typically, the tile stops at ~6' and I can use the drywall above the tile to find the studs but not in this case. Any other suggestions?

I was also looking at the manufactors hollow wall anchor kit rated for the grab bar. Any comments on these? Run away? OK if installed per spec?

Thanks for your time - Mike.

I've seen TV installers hang some really large flat panel TV's with these. I have used them to anchor pedestal lavs as well.

what is on the other side of the wall? If you have access you may have better luck checking there.

You don't need studs in a wall, just ask Billy Mays

K-T-S, in your post are the ones the manufacturer has in their "kit" that I'm considering. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. Even the wingits are a excellent option too, I just did not remember it.
