Mounting the Brackets
1. Place the panel on one of the rods.
Hold it up to the spot you wish to
install it making sure there is
enough spacing from wall to
where the back of drapery will hit.
Usually about 2” away from wall or
window. After you’ve located the
ideal location, use a pencil to mark
the ceiling where the back of the
rod is resting.
2. Remove the panel from the rod
and then center the rod over the
window opening at the desired
spot. Using the pencil, mark where
the ends of each rod are posi-
tioned; if you’re using a center
bracket, note the middle point
between these two spots. If you
have more than one center brack-
et spread these evenly between
the two end brackets and center
point. If you have a spliced rod,
mark where that splice is on the
wall since you will need to add the
special splice bracket at that point.
Measure 6” inward from the marks
you’ve made on both ends and
mark those spots. This is where
the end brackets will be installed.
Proceed to do the same for the
other side.

STEP 3 - ATTACHING THE ROD CONNECTOR
Depending on your order, you may
have received a rod connector. A rod
connector is the short piece of metal
placed inside eachend of the rods in
a multi-segment system to join them
together.
Join track sections together and fasten
securely with set screws.
Attach the splice cover.
