ABSTRACT:
A grab bar assembly for installation into openings in opposed wall sections of a tub/shower wall that includes a cup-shaped pocket having one end for receipt into one of the wall section openings and a second open end with a radially outwardly projecting flange for engaging an opposing surface of the wall section surrounding the opening. A grab bar has a closed first end slidably received into the pocket. The second end of the grab bar is received into the second wall surface opening, and has a radially outwardly projecting flange for abutment with an opposing surface of the wall sections surrounding the second opening. A screw adjustably extends through the first end of the pocket into abutment with the closed end of the grab bar, so that the grab bar is captured in compression between the pocket and associated screw at one end, and the radially extending flange at the other.
