When the total length that the shade will cover is 8 feet or longer, Savant recommends the SHA-B5xx coupler be used. This coupler
mounts between the motor side shade mount and the idler side shade mount. The SHA-B5xx kit contains three tube end plugs which
each play a different role which is shown in the
Box Contents
section below. This coupler can be used with either the floating/outside
type mount or with the inside/jamb type mount. The SHA-B5xx is installed using a shade mount sleeve and 2 inch hanger bolt that is
screwed directly to the wall (if sub wall allows). If required, a drywall anchor can be used. Ensure both the shade motor and shade
idler mounts are installed before installing this coupler. The endpoint shade mounts should be used as a reference point when
mounting.

HELPFUL INFORMATION!
Prior to starting the mounting process, review the next few items below to ensure a trouble free install.
Horizontal Mount
Vertical Mount
-
Install the shade mount so that the center point
of the mount is installed at least 1
¾
inch
(minimum) from any obstructions.
-
To reduce marking up walls, it is recommended
that painters tape be used whenever drilling is
involved.
Mounting Instructions
1.
Mark on the wall or ceiling where the hanger bolt will be mounted. Ensure the center point of the mount is at least 1
¾
inch from any
obstructions. Savant recommends using a laser level or similar techniques to ensure the SHA-B5xx shade mount is installed in line with
the endpoint shade mounts.
2.
Prepare the wall and install hanger bolt. Leave
½
inch of machine thread exposed.
HELPFUL!
Savant recommends using a hanger bolt installation tool (8-32 thread) to thread the hanger bolt into the wall. DO NOT
use the provided sleeve to drive hanger bolts into wall as damage to the sleeve will occur.
3.
Install the supplied #6 pan head screw
9
/
16
inch directly above or below the hanger bolt (measurements are made from the center point
of the hanger bolt). This screw will sit inside the opening in rear of shade mount when shade mount is installed and keeps the shade
mount from twisting.
4.
Using a
3
/
3 2
inch allen wrench, turn the hex head set screw in the 1 inch mounting sleeve so the set screw is not protruding from either
side of the sleeve. At this point, the shade mount sleeve should easily slide in and out of the hole in the rear of the shade mount. See
Horizontal
and
Vertical Mount
diagrams above for position of the hole in shade mount.
