The ASI 1204-C18 stainless steel heavy-duty shower curtain rod support is ideal for commercial washrooms in hotels or hospitals. It works great with all ASI shower curtain rods that are 72 inches or longer and 1-1/4 inches in diameter. This ceiling-mounted support adds extra stability to the curtain rod, ensuring a secure installation. It consists of a flat exposed mounting flange, tubing, and a sleeve. Made of 18-8 alloy stainless steel with all-welded construction. The 3-inch diameter flange is 1/8 inch thick and has three countersunk holes for 1/4 inch screws (sold separately). The 1-inch diameter tubing is crafted from 20-gauge stainless steel. The sleeve locks the support firmly in place with a setscrew.
Using this ASI 1204 - C18 shower rod support is easy. First, choose a suitable place on the ceiling above your shower area. Make sure it's right above where you'll install the curtain rod. Take the flat mounting flange and align it with the ceiling. Mark the positions of the three countersunk holes on the ceiling. Then, drill holes in the ceiling at those marked spots. Remember, you'll need to buy 1/4 - inch screws separately to attach the flange to the ceiling. Once the flange is securely in place, insert the 20 - gauge stainless steel tubing into the appropriate part of the flange. Next, put the sleeve on the tubing and use the setscrew to lock it firmly. Now your curtain rod support is ready to hold your 72 - inch or longer, 1 - 1/4 - inch diameter ASI shower curtain rod. As for maintenance, simply wipe it down with a mild cleaner regularly to keep it looking good and functioning well. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the stainless - steel surface. Also, check the screws and the setscrew from time to time to make sure they're tight.
