The Swiveling U Bracket For Support Bar 5613 15 is a shower support bar accessory that stabilises frameless glass panels against lateral movement: bar-to-glass and bar-to-wall interfaces machined to clamp without crushing, finish-matched to the bathroom’s hardware program, and engineered so lateral loads travel into the wall — not into the panel’s set screws.

Installation Notes
- Install the fixed panel first and confirm it is plumb.
- Mark the bar position on wall and glass, then fit the wall bracket with suitable anchors.
- Clamp the bar to the glass with the rubber-lined glass bracket – snug, not crushing.
- Adjust length/angle (where the model allows) so the load reads into the wall, not the set screws.
- Professional installation recommended for panels above head height.
Frequently Asked Questions
What glass thickness does the 5613-15 fit?
The 5613-15 is rated for 6 mm (1/4″), 8 mm (5/16″), 10 mm (3/8″) monolithic tempered glass. Always use tempered (safety) glass – never annealed glass.
What is the 5613-15 made of?
The 5613-15 is built from brass. Solid metal construction matters on glass hardware – thin stamped parts creep loose under door loads.
Can a fixed shower panel stand without a support bar?
Short panels sometimes can, but a bar makes the panel independent of sealant and floor fixings: lateral loads read into the wall through the bar, not through the silicone line at the base.
Can a support bar be added to an already-installed panel?
Yes – the glass-side brackets clamp the panel edge without drilling. Confirm the bar length against the actual wall-to-glass distance before ordering.
Do you supply the swiveling u bracket for wholesale and OEM programs?
Yes – this model is produced in Zimmor’s Foshan factory for wholesale and OEM sourcing: custom finishes, packaging and volume pricing are confirmed per order.
