How far out does this rod arc past its ends (i.e., how much elbow room is gained)?

I would say, maybe 4-5" gained from a flat shower curtain rod. There is a lot more room in there after you put one in. I am happy with this.

It extends out and gives more elbow room for sureI actually couldn't use it because it hit into the adjacent toilet

For me it varied. I have a 48" shower stall so I mounted the one end and began with the full length rod/bar and it was way too much. I recall cutting about 12" off the end to give me about 8" over arc. For a 5 foot shower or tub, you should see about 7 to 9 inches of arc [depending on if the rod mounts to the wall and where exactly you install the bracket relative to the shower curb or tub]. The manufacturer is great to deal with though!

From the wall to the edge of my tub is right at 25ins, at my shoulder height it's right at 35ins, I'm 5'8, absolutely love mine!

The Ridgid website states that you can go up to 30 feet with extensions. This has been a pretty handy tool for plumbing and HVAC jobs as well as one job where I just needed to guide a bolt into a cramped space.

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.

I cannot answer this question, because the width for where I am using the rod is not that wide. I would err on the side of caution and go with the 72" maximum.

The one I got is 6ft.6in. and a great rod I think you'll really enjoy it mine works great but don't telescope it out fast it will be hard to telescope back in.

Robyn: Sorry, I completely missed this question. You can bow it a little bit and it will fit in the 58" space or you could trim a couple inches off the rod. The rod is separate and inserts into the mounting brackets so it can be cut down.

No, the rods I bought extended to 48. I love the oval better than the round especially if using a curtain to replace a door. Mine I think started about 28 inches? Don' forget to undo and redo the screw so it stays in place. Hope this helps! Janice

I bend a small arc in the long outside connecting rod to shorten travel, about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch curve.. also I oil all the pivot points and hinge areas with a 3 in 1 type oil.

There are several rods of various sizes. I believe using all pieces would be somewhere between 4 - 5 ft. Love this fixture !!

the rod is very long.. like 4 feet or so. It is about 1/2 inch thick and has a square edge and not round rod. I have a large grill with 3 burners and a searing infrared plate, so this length works very well. You need a 3 burner grill at least for this size to ensure you have space to attach the motor. also your grill need to be near a power source. We bought the rotisserie basket too and have done wings and chicken in that instead of on the rod because it was easier than using the rod.

The rod is 9" up to the curve. If you are hanging dry shirts, expect about 18. If you are looking to hang wet shirts, you need more airflow. Plan on more like 8-10.

I just measured ours, and you can expect roughly about 28" of clearance from the bottom of the hook to where the bend in the base of the rod (where it goes into the mounting clamp).

I have two of them and both are exactly 35 3/4"" of actual one piece rod to the end of the brass fitting that you would add a brush or Jag to. Overall length including the handle is 42 1/8". Mine was shipped in a 44" stout cardboard tube that is perfect for secure storage. Amazing rod !!

The rod expands from anywhere between 41" and 72" by twisting. Just twist it and it slowly lengthens to the width you want. I'm not sure how easy it is to shorten it once it's been "opened", but it can be shortened a little bit in order to make it fit your space should you go too far. The circumference of the bar is approximately 3 1/4"; the end cap is about 4 1/2" around and the diameter of the bar (from which you would hang things) is approximately 1" to 1 1/4".

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.

It curves out about 4 inches. It makes a remarkable difference in the amount of elbow room you have in the shower.

The side rods are about 35.5" from the top of the hook that fits over your existing rod to the bottom. If you use the lowest position for the horizontal rod, your new rod will be about 34" below the top of your existing rod.
