How do I install center support for a longer rod, since my valence covers the entire rod and I do not have any opening in the valence.

i am not a professional installer.. what i would do is cut a small slit on the back side of the curtain and buy a corner support which is like a hook with along body that screws into the wall...then slip the hook into the fabric pocket under the rod and that should do it. hope that helps

Our valance also did not have an opening in the back. I cut a small slit in the back of the valance in order to give the middle supports an area of the rod to attach. Simply measure the distance from both ends to the center support on the wall. If the measurements are the same, it will be even easier to figure out the place to make the slit. Fold the valance in half from front to front and end to end. Cut the slit in the back of the rod pocket of the valance. If the measurements are different, simply adjust the area to be cut onthe rod pocket accordingly. After our valance was installed, no one has ever seen the slit in the back and it looks great.

Actually, I looked and the bracket(s) (which are of a special design) came with the item.

Make an opening in the center of the valence in the back and slide the support under the rod.

The rod is very sturdy. We have no center bracket in ours and it is extended almost all of the way.

It depends how wide your door is, and what size rod you bought. If it's a double door, then you'll want to add a bracket in the middle, as it'll tend to sag. These adjustable rods are made of two tubes, one of which fits inside the other, and is pushed in or pulled out to make the width you want. So there isn't the strength and rigidity you'd need to span a double door without its sagging in the middle.

I used two brackets for mine, but rod sags a bit in the middle. May decide to add another bracket.

The ends cannot be removed, that was the first thing I tried. I did not try to take apart from the center of the rod and put together again. When I get a chance I will try that. Thank you for your suggestions.

You screw it to the wall at both ends. There are two rods. The rod on the inside I bought hooks for (separately) for drapes that had loops. The rod on the outside I put a valance which had a hole from end to end. The rods are very weak. We had to put supports in the middle to keep it from sagging which worked for us since we were just using the drapes for a boarder around our projector screen. Our drapes were also heavy.

I bought the standard window size and there is no middle support bracket, you may want to look into purchasing one for very heavy drapes

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

You have 5" between the shades, more than enough to put the cranking rod in place. You need to have a convenient storage space for the 2 cranking rods. Shouldn't expectany install issues.

Attach the support rod where the rod starts to make the turn across the back of the tub. This leaves the curtain all the space it needs as side access to enter the tub. The curtain has to have rings on the other side of the support rod that hold up a small portion of the curtain back there that will never move. Hope this helps.

Hi, You really need the support rod behind the faucet on this ring. I would recommend that you use a D rod. The D rod connects to the wall running beside your tub in two spots and to the ceiling once. You can call us at 1-800-872-9577. Thanks, Kathy

You need to match the manufactures (NAME) to the rod. The threaded part of the rod needs to fit.

I'm bad at eyeballing length, b/c it looks like my rod is less than 1.5, and I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case. Still, I was able to get the ring on... just make sure u have it positioned in the spot u want and carefully wrestle the plastic ring into place. The ring has a LITTLE bit flexible give, and another outer clip that u can put into place on the inside (I'm assuming it was extra support/to cover any holes). Considering I put this in like a year ago that's all I remember about it: it was a pain to get on, it stays very firmly in place, and if I ever have to take it out, I'll probably end up breaking the rings.

Yes you can do this - I had same situation and I just added two of these between the center stick and the edge of the frame - giving me 9 total supports. I found that the middle stick was on the problem - it was too much room to the left and the right of the middle stick.

You can make it touch the mount so there is no rod showing. You have to put it together so you can make it as sort as you want by not hanging all of the shells like I did at my home. I'm not sure how long it would be with all of them but mine is about 16 inches

Hi , i would personally suggest you to get a different rod. These tend to sag in between after sometime. They also fell on my head :(

For my tub the rod was 1.5 inches short for the dry wall opening above the tub/shower. For me installing the unit with a 1"x4" piece of hard wood on each side as a spacer will work. The wood is actually 0.75" thick so it makes up for the rod being short and gives a firmer surface to attach to.
