The 3-3/8-inch slim housing fits into tight spaces, making installation less disruptive. An innovative L-shaped bracket provides strong support and can be positioned to either the left or right side stud for optimal placement. The result is a cleaner install with dependable mounting in a variety of bathroom layouts.
