The ASI 1224-C18 Stainless Steel Heavy-Duty Shower Curtain Rod Support is an excellent option for completing a commercial washroom or bathroom in a hotel or hospital. The rod is designed to work perfectly with all ASI 1-inch diameter shower curtain rods that are 72 inches in length or more. This ceiling-mounted support provides extra sturdiness to the curtain rod to ensure the integrity of its installation. The unit consists of a flat exposed mounting flange, tubing and a sleeve. To assemble the support, all-welded construction and 18-8 alloy stainless steel is employed. The flange measures 3 inches in diameter and is 1/8 of an inch thick. Three countersunk holes are included in the flange to accept 1/4 of an inch screws, which must be purchased separately. The tubing is crafted from 20-gauge stainless steel and measures 1 inch in diameter. The sleeve is used to lock the support firmly in place and accepts a setscrew.
