Profile
‘U’ profile: a 1″ x 1/2″ D-section bar with both ends returning to the glass, so the whole length can be gripped or hung with a towel. Overall lengths 18-1/2″, 24-1/2″ and 30-1/2″ (center to center 18″, 24″, 30″). Five finishes: Brushed, Polished, Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD and White.
Installation
Thru-glass mount with connection hardware included; the matching back cap closes the reverse face. Mount horizontally as a towel rail or vertically as a full-height pull. Optional color-matched or split-finish backplates are sold separately. DWG, 3D and PDF spec sheet downloads are on the page.
Care
Rinse and dry after showering; clean with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach and chloride cleaners on stainless or coated finishes.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between this and the 3-inch U handle?
Both are single-sided ‘U’ handles in 304 stainless with a back cap. This page is the full-length version in 18″, 24″ and 30″ center-to-center sizes that doubles as a towel bar. The 3-inch version is a short grip with no towel capacity, for doors where a bar would be in the way.
Which length should I order?
Choose by door width: 18″ C/C for doors under about 26″, 24″ C/C for 26″–32″ doors, 30″ C/C for doors 34″ and wider. Overall lengths are 1/2″ longer than the center-to-center figure. All three lengths hold a bath towel.
What glass thickness does it fit?
This handle fits 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass; gaskets are included. Holes must be cut before tempering — do not drill tempered glass. Send the CAD and PDF spec sheet to your glazier before the glass is ordered.
Can I match it to other JWL hardware?
Yes. The five finishes (Brushed, Polished, Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD, White) are shared across JWL door handles, cabinet pulls and backplates, so a U towel bar on the shower door can match the vanity pulls and the bathroom door handle.
How fast does it ship and what is the warranty?
In-stock orders ship in 1–3 workdays from Vancouver, BC, to Canada and the US, free on orders over $500. Limited lifetime residential warranty on materials and workmanship (commercial: 5 yr brushed stainless, 2 yr coated). Full terms: jwlhome.com/warranty.
