Waterflow improved
Water pressure was limited. Unscrew showerhead from hose. At the end which was attached to the hose, first remove the mesh filter. Then using tweezers, or I used a large sewing needle to carefully pull out a tiny, black rubber ring that blocks some of the water. Replace mesh filter ring. I believe I saw this on an online video?

ADA approved handheld shower
It fits in my hand very well and I like it, but there are three buttons for different sprays and the ad says you can have six different sprays but it never gets explained how to do that. They have detailed instructions and diagrams for the plumber to hook things up but neglect to show close up photos and instructions to the user regarding the handle and the buttons. It makes me very angry!

Good for budget friendly projects
Good solution for a project on a tighter budget. The bar is solid and easy to install. We always install backing before the tile, so we don't have an opinion on the provided hollow wall anchor. The shower head is good and being made of plastic keeps it lighter than a solid metal sprayer.

Rust in Water
My issue is that rusty water comes out of the handheld shower if it has been several days since I used the handheld. I am assuming it is the hose and not the showerhead. I guess I will try a new hose, but at this price point I expect better. The grab bar is very nice. The bracket to hold the handheld is sub par and tends to slide down the grab bar. I thought I had a faulty bracket until I read review on the replacement bracket.

Good Sturdy Shower Kit
This is a good sturdy shower kit. The slide bar is also a grip bar and will hold an adult who grabs onto it. The shower head is very nice and has multiple settings.

Q&A
I just installed this today and the pause button does not work. It slows the water, but a lot of water still flows through. Is there somthing that may be installed wrong?
Hi, Mike!
Thank you for your question. The Delta 51900-RB Slide Bar Hand Shower pause button is not a complete and positive shut off. There will be a trickle of water from the hand shower still, when the pause setting is activated. If you feel like you are getting more than a trickle of water when paused, please feel free to call, email, or message us on social.
Best regards, Rosanna

How do you turn it on and off and adjust the temperature? Do you need a separate component?
Thank you for your question, Sarah! To use this hand shower and slide bar, you will need to also install a universal rough in valve like the R10000-UNBX along with a diverting valve like the R11000. You could alternatively install a universal valve along with a 3-way shower arm diverter instead.

What additional parts, valves, handles, trim, fittings are needed to use this in new construction?
Hi, Bob1!
Thank you for your question. The Delta 51900-RB shower unit will need the valve body, valve trim, and wall elbow to complete the installation. We leave these choices up to the end user/home owner. Here are the links to these options:

This slide/grab bar matches grab bars 416xx. We like grab bars 418xx. Is there a model that would match grab bars 418xx?
Hi, Steve!
Thank you for your question. The Delta 51900 Hand Shower Slide Bar / Grab Bar will be a close match to the 416XX Contemporary Decorative ADA Grab Bars. We do also recommend the 51400 Hand Shower with Contemporary Slide Bar / Grab Bar. This can be viewed here:

Does the bar have to be mounted into a stud? Is an anchor behind tile enough? I’m replacing my shower head with this and do not want to damage the tile

I'm considering the 51900-RB but I'm concerned about the mounting piece that holds the shower head and it's inability to slide after a couple years of use. Is it possible to order the same hand held shower and ADA grab bar with U6300?
Thank you for your question, jac1! Yes, model U6300 can be installed with the bar and hand shower on model 51900-RB.
Best Regards, Benjamin
