■ Measure the width of the rod and use this measurement to determine where the ends of
the rod will be located. Use a pencil to lightly mark where its ends are located.
■ Use the figure below to mark the locations on the wall for each of the brackets. These
marks will be for the top hole position of the wall bracket. Keep in mind the following:
➤ A minimum of 3" flat vertical surface is required to mount the installation brackets.
➤ For drapery panel(s), mark 2" above where you want the top of the drapery header to
be positioned. For side panel(s), mark 1" above where you want the top of the drapery
header to be positioned.
➤ Mount the end installation brackets 2" in from end marks.
➤ Drapery. Drapery panel(s) come with two brackets and may come with a bypass
bracket(s) to be used as intermediate brackets. Space bypass bracket(s) evenly
between the two end brackets and mark their location. Use all brackets provided for
secure attachment. Mount into wood whenever possible.
➤ Side panel(s). If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space
additional bracket(s) evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location. Use
all brackets provided for secure attachment. Mount into wood whenever possible.
➤ If the rod is spliced, place an intermediate bracket at the splice. See “Connect Spliced
Rod (If Applicable)” on page 6 to connect the rod then hold it up to find the position
for this intermediate bracket.
IMPORTANT: The installation brackets must be level and aligned after mounting.
■ Unscrew the set screw from the bracket base to remove
the bracket arm.

previously made marks and mark the bottom
screw hole.

➤ Check that the mounting surface is level and the brackets are aligned. If mounting to a
heavily textured surface, shim the brackets, if needed.
WARNING: Product is heavy. Mount into wood/metal studs or into concrete
with concrete anchors. Drywall anchors may be used when wall studs are not

INSTALLATION
Install the Bracket Arms
■ Ceiling and Wall Mount with 3" Returns. Install the
bracket arms by sliding it completely into the base and
tightening the screw to secure it. A ceiling mount bracket
is shown, but the process for wall mount bracket is the
same.
■ Wall Mount with 6" or 8.5" Returns. Extension
pieces are used on brackets for 6" and 8.5" returns.
Slide the extension pieces onto the bracket arms
and tighten the set screws. This enables the
placement of the bracket arms to be adjusted as
necessary to allow the returns to lay flat once
connected to
the wall.
Connect Spliced Rod (If Applicable)
For rods over 8’ you will receive two same size rods and a rod splice.
■ Insert the non-finial end of the rods into each end of the
rod splice to join the rods together.
➤ Ensure an intermediate bracket is installed underneath
the rod splice.
For Grommet Style Side Panels proceed to “Install Grommet Style Side
Panels” on page 9. For Pleated Style Side Panels or Drapery continue to
the next page.
