is this rod appropriate for a tub/shower unit?

Yes, I just installed one in our new home. Works very well. Seems to give more room to move around in tub.

Yes, mine is in the guest bath, which has a tub/shower combo. It looks terrific! :-)

I agree with Rodney, it should be fine on that rod. I also have it on a heavier rod.

A normal shower rod. Nothing too big, as it has a slit for easy installation. I would imagine there would be a gap if it was placed on a larger than average rod.

if it will fit the pipe coming out of the wall of your shower then it will fit the unit.

No. I returned the one I brought because it will not fit. The rod is too thick to fit.

My tub surround is fiberglass and i had no problem installing this rod. Fortunately, i had 2x4 studs behind the fiberglass surround that almost perfectly lined up with where i needed to drill the holes thru the fiberglass and wallboard to install the rod. Using some longer screws than those provided allowed me to set the screws into the 2x4s and resulted in a very solid installation. This has been a great product for our needs.

The faucet fit perfect, no problems at all. The shower curtain rod is about 4 feet long. My claw foot bathtub is old (from the 1940's) and the rod fits just fine end to end and side to side. Also, my tub is in a corner of the bathroom which made installing the rod very easy. If you have a newer claw foot tub or a slipper tub, I don't think the rod will be long enough. Hope this helps.

its made for a tub to the ceiling, not tall enough for shower stall, so better using it only for tubs to the ceiling hope this helped

Yes, it ought to work just fine. It fastens to the inside wall in two places, and to the ceiling in one place. It should not cause any interference with the wall faucet/shower. I was able to cut it to size (along the straight side) to fit my small clawfoot perfectly. You may have to take some precise measurements and cut it to fit the area of your tub, but it should work just fine.

Yes, but you probably will have to get a clawfoot tub shower kit similar to the one at this link: http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/product_detail.asp?item_no=RM168C&utm;_id=IDK15 . While not cheap, it comes with everything you need: shower curtain rod, shower head, hand held shower head, etc. Shop around & you may find what you want that's less expensive. We bought a similar one and it looks great and works like a charm! Good luck!

I looked at the manufacturers web site and it says this rod is only good for 58" to 60.5" shower installations. Back when I was searching on Amazon for mine I saw some other options that would work for you. Just keep looking. Good luck.

Mounting the brackets into studs is always preferable, but not always possible. In my bathroom, the bracket on one end of the shower rod is mounted into a stud behind the drywall; the other end isn't. But I used very good mounting anchors-plastic anchors with a wide "flair," not the less effective ones provided with the rod-to secure that end. So far (after three months), it remains solidly mounted.

My bath/shower is 53" and the rod fits. It still has about 6" of section on the small inner rod before you get to the joint. It comes in two sections and I think you can probably cut the section that slides into the other. That is what we were going to do, but it fit without cutting.I hope this helps.

My home doesn't have standard sized closet rods however the hanger fits on a standard size shower curtain rod. The inside diameter of the hanger is a little over 1 inch so it should fit on a 1 inch rod.

I think it would be too low mounted on the side of the tub. It's meant to be mounted on a smooth wall surrounding the tub.

no, it will not. rod needs 2 walls facing each other like in your bathroom shower to work. the end brackets will not flex far enough back to make contact to the wall. I tried to use it over my bed as a curved canopy. it didn't work.

Yes. Its a good rod. It is a little heavy for continuous casting, but it has held up well.
