Profile

The ‘U’ towel bar returns to the glass at both ends with identical legs, so there is no top or bottom and no left or right hand — it reads the same on either door swing. Made from 1″ x 1/2″ D-profile stainless bar, hand-welded, with a plain cylindrical knob outside. Finishes: Brushed, Polished, Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD, White.

Installation

The bar and knob thread together through holes in the glass with the included connection hardware. Confirm the hole spacing on the DWG file and have the glass drilled before tempering. Suitable for 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass. Optional colour-matched or split-finish backplates are sold separately and raise projection to 2 3/8″ (60 mm) per side.

Care

Rinse and dry after showering; clean with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and chlorine-based or acidic cleaners on coated finishes. Limited lifetime residential warranty on materials and workmanship (commercial: 5 yr brushed stainless, 2 yr coated). Full terms: jwlhome.com/warranty

Frequently asked

What size is the U towel bar and what hole spacing does it need?

The U set is made in one length; the overall length, center-to-center hole spacing and hole diameter are on the PDF spec sheet and DWG file linked on the product page. Give those dimensions to your glass fabricator before tempering, because tempered glass cannot be drilled afterward.

What glass thickness does the U set fit?

The U towel bar and knob set is intended for 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass, the standard for frameless shower and walk-in doors, and connection hardware for the glass is included. Contact JWL before ordering for glass outside that range.

When should I choose the U shape over the J or L?

Choose U when the hardware should be symmetrical and neutral — it has no rounded or squared ‘top’ end, so it works on left- or right-hinged doors without a handed version. It is also the lowest-priced towel bar and knob set. Choose J or L to match those handle profiles elsewhere in the home.

Which finish is easiest to maintain in a shower?

Brushed and Polished are bare 304 stainless steel and the simplest to keep clean in daily wet use. Matte Black, White and Satin Brass PVD are coated finishes; they hold up well when rinsed and dried after use and cleaned without abrasive pads or chlorine-based products.

How fast does it ship, and what is the warranty?

In-stock sets ship in 1–3 workdays from Vancouver, BC to Canada and the US; orders over ship free. The set carries a limited lifetime residential warranty on materials and workmanship (commercial: 5 yr brushed stainless, 2 yr coated). Full terms are at jwlhome.com/warranty.
