Should always put silicon in the holes before screwing it in to water proof
Shouldn’t you use some silicone sealant in each hole before the screw as well as on the bracket itself?
Absolutely you can, on this job I siliconed around all the plumbing trim and grab bar flanges
Thank you for this, but I would want only stainless steel screws used,
Which size anchor did you use from what you showed in the video the #4-6 or the #6-10 ?
Sorry I'm just now seeing your comment, I believe I used the number four through six anchor, it does a great job of grabbing hold of the wall tile
@@saltwatertileguy TY!
Never seen or heard of anyone using anchors on tile and durock to hold the fastener. Who taught you or did you just try it out n figure it holds and didn't chip the tile so let it ride??
Edit - also what's your thoughts on the no drill grab bars? I've been in the trades for 20 years but as a Carpenter only so don't know alot about tile and grab bar installation
Great Questions, thanks for asking. I saw someone else using the anchors once so I tried. I will say some anchors are better than others and I feel that it is always better to fasten into structural support. With that being said, I always inform customers that these bars are meant to steady yourself, not support entire body weight. Otherwise I would add framing members and attach to wood supports. I've used the no drill grab bar once before- not a fan. The flange that went behind the tile seemed very flimsy. As long as tile doesn't crack when installing, I will continue to use the anchors as needed.
Nice. I get asked to do this occasionally, but what should I be charging for this if you don't mind sharing?
I charge hourly, 1 grab bar takes no longer than that. Don't forget to add for materials. Many times I include it in the quote for the shower install. Hope it helps, thanks for asking
Those anchors arent rated.
They have a weight rating but not much. If using this method it's important to clearly explain that the bar is only meant to aid in stability, it is not installed for handicap access or use
lol it will fall off in two seconds. Probably the worst video I’ve ever seen on CZcams. This guy is a complete moron.
