As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to work in various bars and breweries, and I have come across many different types of bar foot rails. When it comes to the diameter of a bar foot rail, it is important to consider the type of establishment and the intended use.

For commercial use, a common recommendation for the diameter of bar foot rail tubing is 2 inches outside diameter. This size provides a sturdy and comfortable surface for patrons to rest their feet while sitting at the bar. The larger diameter also adds a stylish and professional look to the bar area.

To properly install the 2-inch outside diameter bar foot rail tubing, it is essential to select the appropriate bar brackets. These brackets should also have a 2-inch diameter to ensure a secure and seamless fit with the tubing. The brackets play a crucial role in supporting the weight and stability of the foot rail, so it is important to choose high-quality brackets that are capable of withstanding heavy use.

When installing the bar foot rail, it is important to carefully measure and plan where each bracket will be placed before drilling into the bar, wall, or floor. This ensures that the foot rail is installed at the proper height and angle for maximum comfort and usability. It is recommended to consult a professional or experienced installer to ensure proper installation and avoid any potential damage or safety hazards.

In my personal experience, I have found that a 2-inch diameter bar foot rail provides an excellent balance between functionality and aesthetics. The larger diameter allows for a comfortable and stable footrest, while also adding an elegant and polished look to the bar area. Patrons appreciate having a designated space to rest their feet, and it can greatly enhance their overall experience at the bar.
