1. Place each roller into the open end of the track. The number of rollers must be equal to the number of grommets on the top edge of the curtain.

Place each curtain grommet over a roller hook and mounting is complete. The dull side with the logo is the front and should face to the outside.

The hardware for the Threaded Rod Suspended Mounting Method allows for a large number of configurations and is only restricted by the location of roof trusses or beams. The 3 corner joints and straight run are shown here.

DESIGNING A PLAN The design of your curtain assembly will be determined by the position of the roof trusses or beams. How you attach the threaded rods to the trusses is your decision; however, we recommend using Beam Clamps. Threaded rods can easily be attached to the clamps and quickly adjusted for height requirements.

Beam Clamps*Ideally there should be 3’ or less between clamps with suspended threaded rods, but the span between trusses could be slightly greater than 3’.

3’

3’

From your design, measure and position the Beam Clamps

- IMPORTANT -Beam Clamps (unless ordered),

Threaded Rods, Nuts and Washers are NOT included with your Curtain Kit.

Step 4

ATTACHING THE TRACKSFor convenience and ease of attaching the tracks to the Track Connectors, already in place on the rods (Step 3), disassemble your configuration into manageable sections.

End StopRemoved

End StopIn Place

NOTE: Leave one of the End Stops off the end of the track assembly.

First, place the track into the Track Connector.

Then, place the Support Plate and secure with a nut.

TIP: Do not fully tighten the nut. This will allow you to easily make final adjustments to the hardware assembly.

Of course, firmly tighten all nuts once the entire assembly is in place.

If the track is being placed into a Splice Connector, loosen the 2 allen screws just one and a half turns, insert the track and tighten the allen screws.

TIP: When inserting Track into a Splice Connector, lightly clamp a pair of vice grips onto the Track about 4” from the end. This should narrow the Track allowing easier insertion.

Loosen the 2 allen screws on each Splice Connector, one and a half turns.

2. Attach an End Stop to just one open end.

SPLICING MULTIPLE TRACKS TOGETHER

TIP: When inserting Track into a Splice Connector, lightly clamp a pair of vice grips onto the Track about 4” from the end. This should narrow the Track allowing easier insertion.

The same steps should be taken if Double Track hardware is being used.

1. Insert the two Straight Tracks into the Connector and tighten the screws. Repeat this process until all pieces of track are spliced together.

Step 3

1. Using your planned design (see Designing a Plan - Pg. 3), measure then attach all the Beam Flange Clamps or other Support Hardware to trusses or beams.

2. Attach the Threaded Rods to the clamps.

3. Attach the Universal Mounting Brackets or Track Connectors to the other end of the rod. Place a nut and washer onto the rod, then place the connector and finally another washer and nut. Once the connector is level with all other connectors in the assembly, tighten the top nut to lock the hardware in place.
