Model BR796 Recessed TP holder is popular in the fact that it doesn’t stick out from the wall. You do need about 3-5/8″ of wall depth for it to “recess” into. This is the true definition of a recessed TP holder. Thin-set mount is not recessed. Thin-set will recess into the depth of the tile, but recessed means it goes a long way into the wall.
