Does anyone here have a recommendation?

Until you sell then buyer will likely want it to code.but suit yourself

They can't require that from me. And likely isnt a word I would use, its very unlikely. They either buy it as is or not at all. Plus, the rest of the bathroom is not ADA compliant. Nor is the rest of the house.
If a buyer is bound to a wheelchair, they will have to look elsewhere.

My Parent's needed rails before they passed, we installed these in the shower, no drilling required: 18 in. x 1-1/2 in. Grab Bar in Brushed Stainless Steel

would have to be awfully strong if someone was pulling up their full weight or breaking a fall. i know i did 2 veterans center and many schools and churches.

I've been using the portable ones with the suction cups. They are stuck on good when applied. 6'2", currently 230lbs

Here is a little input you may find helpful. I would go with good quality anchors and stainless screws. Silicone the hell out of everything, the last thing you want is water in the wall cavity. I think the bars work best when set at a 45 degree angle mol, start at 30 inches high on the low end, you may find yourself in a shower chair, but as you stand, the bar rises, and you can grab it anywhere. If there is a Locke Supply or even a Home Depot near you talk to them, they may have the right guy.

um, I make sure to readjust them every time I shower. I was very skeptical too.

well youall suite yourself !! you get into a fall and grab one youll pull the tile sheetrock and everything down.. why you think they wont let you use hollow wall anchors!! best of luck.

Forget wall anchors of any type. Just a disaster waiting to happen. Screw into the studs! Generally, studs are on 16" centers, but use an accurate stud finder. Screw each end into a stud and forget about it.

The adhesive ones were very strong and didn't cause any problems. Ultimately for permanence and years of use your way is the best to avoid any future issues. We knew it would be less than a year and the house would be sold.

I know how to install these, just dont want to drill in the tile. That takes a person more experienced than me to do as I have never drilled in tile and dont want to crack it. I aint using no adhesive or sheetrock anchors for sure.
And I'm doing a custom rod design specific to my need, not ADA.

Correct tile bit and drilling a hole in tile is easy.
Google how to drill a hole in tile and see it done.

I bought a diamond hole cutter for tile to run the pipes out of the wall when installing a shower head etc.
Yea it was like $36 15 years ago but a great purchase when you need it.
