How far in from the edge of the tub should you mount the brackets since it bows out?

I mounted my brackets even with the edge of my tub, however I believe that's the furthest you should go away from the tub. The closer you mount them to the edge, the more additional space you get, without losing the function of the shower liner. There's some tolerance for error. It's personal preference.It's also important to mount the brackets at the correct height, so the shower curtain hangs from the floor at the desired height.

Around 5 to 6 Inches from the edge of the bathtub inward, it depends what angle you want for the liner to fall into the bathtub itself, I installed the lower screw one inches above the top of the tiles and used a 72x84 liner so it fits perfectly , but my bathroom celling is 9 ft , so you may have to adjust.

I have a preformed shower. I mounted mine about 1/2 inch from the outside of the frame and about 1 1/2 inches above the frame. It works perfect. Far enough out that if there is a draft, it doesn't make the curtain float back in. I wouldn't mount even with the outside of the frame, because then it doesn't leave enough room for the curtain to curl in to prevent water from leaking out. Hope this helps.

I mounted mine a half inch outside the vertical shower surround. Also be mindful of possible interference with bathroom door. Love the extra space.

In our bathroom that would be about one foot, but the tub rim is slightly curved. It's a good strong grip - provided you keep tightening it. It has worked for us, even though my husband at times has to rely on it heavily.

Our tub was very similar. I went to a local hardware store to get a metal pipe that would fit into the shower rod at each end, connecting to the wall. This extended the length of the shower rod out to meet the width of the tub. I did later order extra ceiling supports for stability since it only came with one.

Nope, because the top edges are not flush flat so you there will be an ugly gap of grounding between the tiles to the tub. You should look for tubs that is for under mount purpose instead.

The bracket extends out to 33" from the collapsed position. You can stop the bracket at any measurement you desire up to 33". They have a mechanical drawing with all the measurements

There shouldn't be a gap big enough unless you mounted the bracket upside down/backwards. It can happen, just check.

Hi, I would say 2" each side will be sufficient. In my case, my tub had acrylic walls and i needed the shower bench to be less wide so i could close the acrylic door. I simply had it cut each side to fit my tub with doors opened or closed.

My bar is attached to the wall some 6-7 inches above tile surround. I have approximately 8 inches of inner shower curtain below top edge of tub. No install issues, is straight forward

1) Start by marking a level line on the wall around 36" off the floor (same height as your washing machine top). 2) Screw the metal bracket to the wall using the level line that you marked, raised part of the bracket facing you. Note, If you are mounting the tub to wood wall, always screw to the wall studs. If mounting to block use the plastic anchors. 3) Flip the tub upside down and attache both side plastic brackets with the screws provided. Note, They are marked with a R and L for left side, right side. 4) Hang the tub on the metal wall bracket and hook up your plumbing. Thats it!

An easier way to do it would be to just lay a 2" steel pipe across top. The brackets would fit right over that. That's the way I did mine.

Its about 4 feet. Not sure what you mean about the bracket. However, I am not crazy about it as its already leaking and the change in pressure from one head to the other isn't that good. Good luck

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.

I think it should work. it will hook over the rounded rim of your tub, and the bracket is down lower, and it has a nob that tightens it. If your rounded rim at top is too narrow , The width if the top part that rests in the top edge measures 3 1/2 inches. If the top rounded rim of your tub is smaller, Im sure you could wedge a piece of wood or plastic in to make it fit. Hopefully, maybe someone who has a claw foot tub, and has the bracket, will answer your question. I hope it will work for you because It is very sturdy, and so helpful. Goodluck. Sally

You are correct, I took out the stop brackets. They make the carriage too short. I bought some pipe insulation (black foam tube) and inserted this over the carriage brace up near the top to make sure the carriage doesn't bang into the top of the rebounder and this gives you another 2 or 3 inches. If you are a tall person, I think this is an issue. I am short.

On one side of my tub, I only have about 1 3/4 to 2 inches. As long as you have aprox. 2 inches or a little more, it will work fine.

These brackets only extend out 5" from the wall. I used them for 3/8" shelves that were 8" deep. I would recommend a bracket that extends 8 or 9 inches for 12" shelves.

My installation requires about 24" spacing between the brackets. I think you could easily place the brackets closer than my installation required. The mounting holes in the brackets are slotted which would give you a little ,maybe 1/4", on each bracket bar. Hope this helps.
