Can this Grab Bar/Toilet paper holder be installed on a left wall - and function properly?Mounting installation appears to be on only the Right hand wall???

Sorry but I do not see a way to mount it on the left without reversing it so that the curved closed end faces the user. When mounted on the right and with closed end away from user, the curve makes a comfortable hand hold to help stand up. That benefit would be lost if mounted in reverse. My suggestion is to contact Moen. They are an outstandingly responsive company and based in Ohio.

It would work on either a right or left wall. The only change would be the direction of the bottom tissue holder. Functionally would be the same.

Yes, I have it installed on a left side wall in my bathroom and I have purchased another one for another bathroom in my home. I really like it. It is very sturdy when attached to studs in the wall.

I see no reason why this holder can't be installed on left side. It only changes the direction the roll of paper slides on. This has been a great product, looks good and is gorilla strong. I was able to get one screw into a stud. The other was anchored to the sheetrock. Use hole saw, follow instructions.

mine is mounted as shown in foto, with "U" shaped bend slightly down to keep roll on, did miss stud, followed direction for sheet rock, real strong.

I say "yes"...however this display picture shows how the opening of the bottom of the "J" faces you if it is right hand placed and therefore sort of easier to place the new roll in it......if you place it on the left wall then the bottom of the "J" will face outward.....I don't think it will cause a hardship......If you do buy this be sure to install it on a slight angle so that the toilet paper doesn't fall off.....my guy did this & it works perfectly and trust me even though it may not be the best looking paperholder ever, it is a God sent item for those who suffer from back aches etc......

I can't think of a good way to do that. (I mounted mine where there was an overhang coming out from the wall, and it works well there.)

You should be able to mount it on a horizontal bar (which I haven't tried). The holder does rotate on plastic gear teeth, like a ratchet.

Although I haven't tried, my guess would be yes - it's one of those bars that has a spring inside so that you can squeeze it together to re-attach it to the holder. I'm also assuming that it's a pretty standard size, since toilet paper is!

Yes you need to fix it permanently on a flat wall with wall screws and plugs. After installation, the holder can be opened easily and refilled by flipping the top up. The toilet roll is just placed into the holder from the top opening. I don't have cats at home but I think it is quite difficult for them to get to the paper if you roll it entirely in the holder.

Yes to both questions; however, it will function much better with the wall holder.

I didn't receive a holder so I am not sure. I had a pipe clamp (I think that's what it is) and I screwed it into the wall next to the toilet. I had one with a holder in the past an the husband attached it to the toilet.

I mounted my paper towel holder on the underside of a cabinet with the curve facing forward. I would think that when wall mounting the holder, deciding whether to have the curve up or down would just be a matter of what looks most pleasing to you personally.

I mounted on the wall to the right, only because the towel rack and light switch were on the left. Easy to mount, just make sure you have thick sheet rock or mount into a stud. It is a very sturdy mirror!

Interesting question......although amazon.com states it can be mounted both right and left handed and shows examples, there are no space limitations in those illustrations and with the left hand install I suspect in order to change the temperature that you are moving the handle away from you, instead of towards you with a right hand mount installation. Most important Moen states that the unit can only be right hand mounted, so I would suspect that the answer to your question is no. Why can't you tolerate a right hand mount? Very luxurious tap!

You can mount it any way you wish. Left, right, up. Just don't mount it down the paper will fall off :).

We mounted this on the left side next to our toilet. I would not recommend installing it vertically. The mounting brackets are fantastic. My husband is a large man and it is VERY secure. We have bracket mounted into a stud and the right one into just drywall and it is extremely sturdy.

Hey Jim, My version didn't have a mounting option. When I reviewed it, this was one of the suggestions I made. I have put some double sided tape on it and it has been holding up pretty well.

Yes....no issues with using another holder. In fact I hate this over designed bracket.....good luck :)

The mounting bracket screws into the wall and the visible part inserts into a slot in the bracket and slides down into place. No screws are visible once the bar is fully mounted so it doesn't sound like this one would be the same as what you have already tried. We have the same bar in another bathroom that has been up for four years. It came off once when our son pulled and pulled on the towel, nearly hanging onto the bar. My husband fixed it easily and it has been there since.

It's installed with two screws, in the middle of the holder. It won't work if you're trying to replace a recessed toilet paper holder - only if your previous spot was mounted on the wall. It's refilled just by setting the TP in the holder - it's not actually stuck in there. Our cats and toddler have both gotten ahold of the end to pull it out but have a tough time if the end is tucked in.

Yes, it can be installed to work on a horizontal or vertical grab bar. It comes with 2 U sizes to attach in case the grab bar is pretty thinner but also standard size.I first bought some specialty anchors labeled to secure grab bar with drilling anywhere behind the tile, but a plumber said they are not fully effective and grab bar definitely needs to attach to studs.I returned the anchors.
