mulegolf Sounds like our bathroom. I have three of those same grab bars, two by the toilet and one by the bath tub. They look OK but don't work as well as the larger diameter pipe like is used in public restrooms, etc. They are almost too narrow in diameter and too slippery to get a good hold on them.
We may have different products. Mine are ADA rated and 1.25" in diameter and on the backside out of sight are rubber grip pads. These are rated for 500lbs. even in drywall with the compatible Moen mounts. I have a 24" between the tub and toilet and 18" vertically on the shower.

Although they look very similar and also are rated at 500 lbs. mine are just .875" diameter and are 10" long.
