It's specifically designed to pair seamlessly with all ASI shower curtain rods that are 72 inches long or longer and have a 1 - 1/4 inch diameter. This ceiling - mounted support boosts the curtain rod's stability, ensuring a solid installation. Comprising a flat exposed mounting flange, tubing, and a sleeve, it's built with all - welded construction using 18 - 8 alloy stainless steel. The 3 - inch diameter flange, 1/8 inch thick, has three countersunk holes for 1/4 - inch screws (sold separately). The 1 - inch diameter tubing is made from 20 - gauge stainless steel. The sleeve locks the support firmly in place with a setscrew, offering long - lasting performance in high - traffic areas.
Using this ASI 1204 - C18 shower rod support is easy. First, find a suitable spot on the ceiling above your shower area where your curtain rod will be installed. Line up the flange with the ceiling and use the three countersunk holes to mark where you'll drill. Remember, you need to buy the 1/4 - inch screws separately to attach the flange to the ceiling. Once the flange is securely in place, insert the tubing into the flange. Then, slide the sleeve onto the tubing and lock it with the setscrew. Finally, attach your ASI shower curtain rod that's 72 inches or longer and 1 - 1/4 inches in diameter. For maintenance, wipe it down regularly with a mild cleaner to keep it looking shiny. Avoid using abrasive materials as they can scratch the stainless - steel finish. If you notice any loose parts, check the setscrew and the screws on the flange and tighten them as needed.
