2. Affix the second End Stop to the open end of the track.

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.

Step 5

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 Chain Support 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.

Roof Trusses

* * * *** * * *

** * *

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 support chain to the trusses is your decision. That support hardware is supplied by others.

Ideally there should be 3’ or less between attachment points but the span between trusses could be slightly greater than 3’.

3’

3’

From your design, measure and position the attachment hardware.

How you attach the top end of the support chain to the ceiling is your decision. Screw eye bolts with “S” hooks could be used with steel trusses or beams. If tying into wood, lag threaded screw eyes with “S” hooks could be used.

ATTACHING THE TRACKS

For convenience and ease of attaching the tracks to the Track Connectors, already in place (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 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.

NOTE: The installer will need an assistant to help with this step.

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 allow-ing easier insertion.

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

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

The total height of the assembly includes the height of the curtain, the height of the hardware including an “S” hook plus an additional 1” to keep the curtain above the floor. A tag on your curtain(s) should show the overall dimensions.The hardware height is shown on the drawings to the right.

5 1/2”

Curtain Height+ Hardware Height (including “S” Hook)

+ 1”= Overall Assembly Height

Determining the length of the chain depends on how the top of the chain is connected to

the ceiling. Use the following formula:

Distance from Floor to Ceiling(i.e. Bottom of Truss or Beam)– Overall Assembly Height

= Length of Chain

Next, cut all the sections of chain to their proper length.

ATTACHING SUPPORT CHAIN and TRACK CONNECTORSStep 3

2. Using your planned design (see Designing a Plan - Pg. 3), measure then attach the Top Chain Support Hardware (supplied by others) to the ceiling (i.e. trusses or beams).

4. Attach the Chain with the Connector to the Top Chain Support Hardware. NOTE: Each section of chain must be the same length.

3. Using an “S” Hook, attach a section of Chain to a Connector using the center hole.
