How is this rod measured as the description says expands from 58" to 72", is this measurement around the curve of from mounting point to mounting poi

I wondered the same before I ordered. My wall is 59" point to point. Fits beautifully. I have plenty of expansion room if needed for a wider mount space. Maybe 2-3 inches more of collapse if I had a narrower space. Hope this helps!

29.5 is the extended length, which is probably the important dimension. The rod will collapse almost all the way in so, maybe 16" or 17". Hard to measure it when it's installed on my truck.

I don't remember exactly, but when I installed it I think I had about 2 feet. I had to bend the first segment slowly to about a 45 degree angle to get it in the top of the water heater. Then I had to straighten it out as I got the first segment into the heater body. I had to slightly bend the next segment too, but not as much. Be sure to straighten out each segment as it goes in so you will be able to rotate the entire rod to screw it in securely. Bend gently to avoid breaking off a segment.

The measurement includes the top. I had exactly 72" to work with . To make it easy on myself I changed the drywall on one side from 1/2" to 1/4". I could have got it in without doing this, but this allowed to slide in without scrapping walls.

Hello, for the Rotator Rod to fit in a space less than 58" it will need to be cut a bit. That can certainly be done but you have to arrange it through the originating company at RotatorRod.com.

yes it comes with mounting hardware. It has two end pieces of solid plastic with openings to accept the rod. Yes, it will adjust to 58" wide.

The packaging does not indicate the width of the rod itself. I judge it to be about an inch and a little more, It is very hard to measure unless you take the end parts off, and I did not want to do that.

My shower curtain is 72" × 72" & it fits fine. Don't hang the new rod higher than the old rod. Hope this helps. Dan.

Hi, These rods are adjustable from 41" to 72" in length. The diameter of this rod is approx. 1" inch.

I found a spec sheet online somewhere before I bought mine. It might have been on the MonMount website for item # 194B but I don't recall. Anyway, if I understand you correctly, I laid a ruler on the base behind the shaft and measured to the edge, it was difficult to read because the metal curves but it looks to be about 33 mm. Keep in mind that the mounting plate is not completely flat, there are 2 large bolts that hold the 2 halves of the base together so the bold heads add a few mm to the width. I'm not sure if I can upload pictures here but I will if I can.

One end turns sort of like a cam and tightens the rod between two walls. This is the adjustable end. The rod can be cut down to fit any width of space. But be careful not to cut the rod too short, because the adjustable end only tightens about 1/4 in. or so.

Yes you don't have to extend it to the full reach. Confirm that the minimum extension is under 3ft and you should be okay. On my rod it was. It's a great product for the price, good luck to you.

Our opening was 59" as well, so it fit fine. The only small issue of note is that when one installs this curved bar--which I would say works BEST for LARGER openings in terms of creating the symmetrical curve of its design--into smaller openings like ours, the curving effect is a little off on one end. I'm a perfectionist though and notice even small details that render projects/fits PERFECT, so others may not have even really noticed this issue. Again, though, we are very happy with this product.

the part that screws into the wall is 12" and the rod extends out another 10". by the way, i own two of these and i love them!

The directions say to extend the rod about an inch longer than the opening required. Lock it before you try to put it in place. If you still have the directions they are pretty easy to follow. Hope this helps.

The Tipton 36" rod is a total of 42" overall and the rod is 36". Works great.
