## About this towel bar

The CRL 18" Back-to-Back Tubular Towel Bar is a back-to-back towel bar for frameless glass shower doors that fits 1/4" to 1/2" glass and mounts 18" center to center. Made by C.R. Laurence (CRL) in 10 finishes, including polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black.

The BM Series back-to-back towel bar puts a matching bar on both sides of the door, so you have a place for towels inside and out. Each bar is heavy-wall 3/4" brass tubing. Decorative metal washers sit against the glass and also cover small chips around the hole, and plastic washers keep metal from touching the glass. Drill two 1/2" (12 mm) holes, 18" (457 mm) apart center to center, in 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 12 mm) tempered glass.

- Back-to-back pair: one bar for the inside, one for the outside
- 18" (457 mm) center to center
- Heavy 3/4" (19 mm) brass tubing
- Decorative 1-1/4" (32 mm) metal washers hide small chips around the hole
- Needs 1/2" (12 mm) holes; fits 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 12 mm) tempered glass

### Match your holes, glass and finish.

Measure center to center between your existing holes and check your glass thickness. A new handle has to match both.
