For other wall surfaces, use fiber plugs, expansion shields, 1/8-inch (3mm) toggle bolts, or expansion bolts. Finally, position the rod and reattach the pivot sections with the Phillips-head screws. The shower curtain rod meets specifications with its 20-gauge stainless steel and 1-inch outside diameter, and the swivel brackets have the high - quality chrome - plated zinc die - cast construction.
Using your new shower curtain rod is easy. First, make sure you've installed it correctly following the steps in the product description. Hang your shower curtain on the rod. When using the shower, simply slide the curtain open and closed as needed. As for maintenance, use a mild soap and a soft cloth to clean the rod and brackets regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the satin finish. If the swivel brackets seem stiff over time, a small amount of silicone lubricant can help them move smoothly. Always check the set screws and mounting hardware periodically to ensure they're tight and secure. If you notice any damage to the rod or brackets, contact the manufacturer for assistance.
