inner edge of tub is narrow will this bar be able to rest there safely?

The diameter of the bar that rests on the tub edges is 1 3/8 inches. The width of the flat inner edge of my tub is 1.5 inches. So if your tub edge is 1.5 inches or more, it should work fine. If less than 1 inch, it may not rest securely, especially if it moves a bit when person is getting in or out of chair.

Our swivel chair has four legs and sits on the floor of the tub. The side of the tub is not involved.

Our tub also had a narrow inner edge. The four legs that came with the swivel seat did not work with our tub configuration. I made an easy inexpensive modification. I put an inexpensive plastic crate under the swivel chair. The crate sat on the floor of the tub and the bars under the swivel seat gently rested on the top of the crate. The "wings" of the swivel seat rested on both the narrow and wide edges of the tub. It worked. The swivel did not move at all when in use.

Depending on your size, weight and strength, as well as specific consideration regarding your own mobility, I suspect you could. You would want to make sure the bar is securely fastened to the tub edge before and after each use.

I assume the claw foot tub is metal so the main question is whether the device will fit over the edge of the tub. You have about 41/2" in total width. If the top edge curves over you should be able to put a wooden block underneath the curved edge on the outside to act as a shim so that you can tighten the safety bar. Hope this will work for you.

i am only 150# - the rim of the bath sits directly on the commode outer rim under the toilet seat --- the bath is recessed -no weight rests on it - if your commode +seat is now supporting your weight -- this should serve you well

This works very well for stepping out of the bathtub. The foot stool with the handle is very stable at all times and I wish I had gotten it much sooner. I'm not sure what you mean about using it as a safety bar.

I am only guessing, but there is space for several hundred pounds, as much as can fit on it... it is a standard bar. It is NOT going to collapse...

There needs to be enough of a ledge on both sides for the wire arms to rest on. It probably would not work without at least a few inches of clearance between the inside edge of the tub and the wall. It definitely won't work on those liner-style tub/showers with a smooth inner wall.

The bars on our unit are only about 6" from each side of the toilet. My wife and I love the support our's gives us. We have never considered it too wide for us. It is not adjustable.

Personally I don't think it would if you are referring to the old claw foot tubs. The curvature of the side would probably cause it to kick out toward the outside & not be stable. It is a wonderful grab bar. You could always try it & if it didn't work send it back.

It is sitting on the top of the bath edge(s) so the seat is almost leveled. If the tub edges are in level with your knees or a little higher that would be the most comfortable position for people who don't have strength. If the edges are lower than you would need some help unless you would face the chair, grab hand rests and try to get inside of the bath. My father used it that way until he felt comfortable to seat on it first and then move his legs into bathtub while turning the chair. To be honest his bathtub edges are pretty high. It is excellent sturdy product!.

I purchased this bar just because of the soft top issue. The bar curves forward at the top and is offset about 3" which keeps it out of the way. Works perfect.

I had to cut mine a bit shorter, but it was easy to do. Remember though that the shorter you cut the bar, the less arc you have. you will be loosing some of the desired effect of creating space in the enclosure, by keeping the shower curtain as far away from you as possible. Measure twice, cut once, as my old high school teacher Art Taylor used to say. Mike

No problems. Looking at the bar I think it would go to an inch. Just measured it and we have a four inch tub. Hope that helps.

The safety bar clamps together at the bottom opening and you adjust it by rotating a dial on the outside front.....yes it is great for me. I put it at front end of tub and can steady myself to step over the edge. Keep it steady/tight.

I am fairly sure it will... it opens wide enough to go over lip of tub and then the area that tightens would be below the lip. I think it would be ok...

If the back does not rest on the top of the trim, the pull-up bar will fall. I have this problem at my current house.
