AC Products Recessed Bathroom Hardware
The recessed bathroom hardware is shown on several other web pages. And because we have it scattered on the soap dishes page, TP holders page, shower niche page, and then on the 900 Series stoneware page, we decided to round it all up and show it altogether on this page. This will give you a better representation of which pieces are actually available in recessed mounting.
Recessed mount means: your soap dish, TP holder, or shower caddy set deep into your wall. Generally about a 3-1/2 inch depth. This provides for the smallest possible surface projection and then tucks the accessory into the wall. Thus, it is important to know if your wall can accept the depth needed. Sometimes electrical wiring or even plumbing could be in the way. So if you are cutting a new hole in the wall without knowing what is within the wall, cut a smaller hole first and take a peek in the wall. You might even run into a wall stud in that perfect place to set a shower caddy. Thus a little to the left or the right may become the new perfect place.
The Scoop on AC Products: They went out of business in November of 2022. Production stopped, they proceeded to sell off excess inventory for approx. 5 weeks. As of December 2022, they closed up shop entirely. Since November of 2022, we have been selling off our inventory and the inventory we were lucky to grab before their demise. As of January, 2024, we have some items left, but choices are scarce. Most mainstream items sold out quick. So we have bits and pieces and try to keep our website updated at least every other day when we sell items off. So the counts we show in the item description or color drop down menus are accurate (within a day or so).
For our current ceramic bathroom hardware line WHICH IS STILL PRESENTLY BEING MADE, please see the Lenape section of our website. We have offered Lenape bathroom hardware since 2001. Their selections are not as extensive. Yet, Lenape is opting to re-produce a few of the AC Products items to keep them going.

NOTE: Be aware of bathroom walls which are an exterior wall of the house, they may create some challenges, such as concrete block that you might have to cut into. Plumbing or Electrical wires might be in the way also.
Color availability IS LIMITED to what we have left in our stock. The BR794 and BR796 are now being produced by Lenape and are available in any quantity needed in these three colors: white, bone/almond, and black. Same dimensions yet a spec heavier due to the denser clay that is used by Lenape.
The drop down menu color selections for each item will list the available colors remaining for that piece.

Our ceramic bathroom hardware is available to everyone, homeowners and contractors.
For hotel renovators or commercial customers who require larger volume of items, we do offer volume discounts. Please e-mail us with your requirements. This web page may be of interest to you for soap dishes and corner shelves: Lenape Pro Series
New recessed soap dishes and TP holders from Lenape are IN STOCK.
Lenape acquired the AC Products mold for these two items. The Lenape white is a little less white than AC Products C1 white. And the TP holders are about 1 pound heavier due to a stronger clay used to make them.

How do I know if I need white or bone?
Bone is a very light color, sometimes confused as being an off-white. Bone is best described as start with white, add the tiniest hint of brown, stir it up, and you have bone. There is also another light color that gets mixed up with white and bone, that is called biscuit. Biscuit is start with the white, add a tiny hue of yellow, and you create a yellowish antique white look. Biscuit color is NOT made by Lenape, only white and bone, and then black.
In these next two pictures, white is shown on the left, bone on the right.
The BR796 TP holder and BR794 soap dish:
Although we are running low, and out of many colors, here is an update. The BR796 TP holder and BR794 soap dish will continue to be made in gloss white, gloss bone/almond, and gloss black. The white, bone, and black are IN OUR STOCK NOW.
Stock and Lead times:
In the drop down choices for picking your color, we show what we have remaining in stock. AC Products went out of business in Nov. 2022, so we can only sell what we have left. With the exception of the note we just posted above about the BR796 and BR794 both continuing to be made in 3 colors only.
And a commonly asked question:
The BR796 and BR996 recessed toilet paper holders will hold normal double size rolls.
The new roll shown next is the double roll POM tissue from Sam's Club.
This TP roll measured 4-3/4" in diameter and there was still a little room left over in the TP holder.
If you use super jumbo rolls and triple rolls, they will NOT fit into this holder.
Rolls up to 4-7/8" in diameter will work. Anything just over 4-7/8" will drag when attempting to unroll some paper.
UPDATE to the above sizing note: It seems that the width of the roll is important too. We conducted more tests. The POM tissue from Sam's Club has undergone a few packaging / size changes. We have two versions we just tested. One roll is 4.6" in dia. and 4.7" in width. It hangs up in the holder and does not want to roll well, because of the width. The second roll we have is 4.75" (4-3/4) in diameter and 4.07" (4-1/16) in width. It spins freely with no problem. What is causing this is that the TP holder starts to curve inward toward the farthest inside depth. So a wider roll pushes on the back inside of the holder and jams itself on the roller.
So our updated advisement is, you can use rolls up to 4-7/8" in dia. BUT they should not exceed 4" in width if that big of a diameter. So various rolls can work. If slightly wider, then important that the dia. be slightly less.
Take a ruler with you the next time you buy TP. No harm in measuring a roll in the store through the packaging.
Stoneware finished recessed bath hardware:
The same recessed items from the 700 Series were also available in some of the stoneware colors. Thus they become the 900 Series. Part numbers change from BR796 to BR996, the 7 changed to a 9. The items are identical in description and dimensions. When they are in the stoneware finishes, they just receive a 9 in the part number. (Quantities limited, but much stock remaining.)
This graphic help shows the size differences and how much larger the BR991 and BR993 shower caddies are in comparison to their smaller counterparts. Same sizing difference apply to the 700 Series shown first on the page. Color above is the S904 Smoke Grey Stone.
