IMPORTANT
To ensure years of enjoyment and safety, hardware brackets
should be attached to wood or metal studs or a structural wood
support.
When an attempt is made to install brackets into WALL
BOARD without a stud [for light weight fabrics or sheers only]
it is absolutely necessary to use both screws with anchors for
each bracket installation.
Improper installation or misuse can cause draperies to fall
causing potential danger.
INSTALLATION
1. The brackets should be placed approximately 1 ½” from the
end of your drapery rod to allow for finials. It is advisable to
use a level to determine the vertical position of each bracket so
that drapery will hang evenly. Placement of brackets will
depend on the practical aspects of the window treatment and
adjusting the panels for best usage.
2. Using a pencil, mark the appropriate location of the brackets.
Drill holes where marked using a 3/16” drill bit. Screw/tap
anchors into holes. Mount brackets using the enclosed screws
with the set screw on the bottom.
Rods should be connected by placing the bushing in the middle
of the larger rod and sliding the smaller rod through the opening.
Please leave at least a six inch overlap at the joint to prevent the
rod from drooping or falling.
3. Remove rods from brackets to attach draperies. To attach, feed the rod pocket,
tab-top or rings through the rods and them feed the rods back through the brackets.
4. Loosen the set-screws at the base of each finial. If you are attaching a finial to a
large diameter rod, you will need to remove the rubber cap on the rod. If you are
attaching the finial to a smaller diameter rod, you will need to keep the rubber cap
attached to the rod. Place the finial over top of the rod or rubber cap and tighten set-
screw to attach the finial to the rod.
5. Ensure the rods and draperies are installed as desired, and then tighten the set-
screws in each bracket to prevent rod movement.
