Does it need to have the ends screwed in or does it stay in place by tension?

Ends MUST be secured in place. DO NOT USE screws (or hardware) supplied by Moen; they are (I believe) Chinese JUNK! They strip and you end up with a mess. Moen should start making this product in the USA instead of China. However, I do like the rods. Jim

Yes, the ends are screwed in place. The supplied hardware is not the best and depending on the wall material, may need to be replaced with higher quality fasteners.

It is fixed, not tension, which I like better as it is less likely to slip. It connects to wall by screws that are under the ends. It did not take my husband more than twenty minutes to install it. And I still love it. No rust, no slipping. Great product.

Not sure if it would stay in place with just the tension, we put it up with end screws. We have kids and wanted it to stay in place.

If it is clamped tight enough, it would not fall out. That said, I would re-tighten every time I used it...

Yes! It takes some trial and error with adjusting the tightness of the screws, but once you get it adjusted to the way you like it, it will stay in place.

It's press fit or "tension". I have had NO problems with this product. The ends adjust ever so slightly, so depending on application, one end may need to be sawed to adjust. The beauty of this one-time inconvenience is that, due to its one-piece nature, the shower curtain NEVER gets hung up on a middle bump as in a telescoping model. Be bothered once or be bothered every time you use the shower.

No. It needs to be snug enough to hold the prongs together and not slip out.

Yes it doesn't have to be screwed down. If your existing cover is flush, then this cover won't stay in place, however, since there would be nothing to anchor it.

It is like a pipe thread .... as it gets tighter it seals ... so it should not screw all the way down.

It screws to hold in place. Very sturdy and easy to screw and unscrew. I have bought many poles over the years and this is, by far, the most well constructed.

Unfortunately, no; however, it's stayed pretty firmly in place thanks to the different placement of all the wires. Since there are ports on both sides and on top, the wires pulling in every direction has held it mostly still.

Yeah it stays in place and holds it's shape the cable is jointed you won't have any problem with that

It has a minimum tension only, it still requires some effort, like you were using about a 5 lb weight. It was also easier when I held it out at arms length, and used your other hand to stabilize it. I haven't set it any higher and it's been a couple of months.

If you have one side "wall" and one side railing the tension should keep it from tipping over. We have two railings and it is very tight and stable.

It doesn't lock on like many others do. As long as you feel it settle into place you are fine. This threw me for a loop at first as well.

When the top nut is screwed down adequately there should not be any wiggle...

Yes, the inner parts are secured in by screwing down a piece, so they will not fall off if pointing down.

Yeah, you have to place it so it doesn't move. Something I figured out the hard way.

Yes It stays In place. I have had mine for about a year and the blade still locks in as tightly as when I got it.
