Question:
will this work if wall to wall measurement is only 32
asked by: Al
Expert Reply:
The Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod for RVs # EXT-3542 will work with your 32 inch wall to wall measurement "as is" if you don't need the space saving fold. If you want that function, you will need to trim the rack to better fit and allow that function.
To trim you will need the following tools:
Tape measure
Philips screwdriver
Pipe cutter or hack saw
Electric drill
3/16 inch drill bit
Tape
Attach both the left and right arms to the center rod and remove one of the fittings from the center rod for either side with the arms still attached.
Next, lay the tape measure out on a flat surface to represent the width of the shower. Lay out the Extend-A-Shower on both ends of the tape measure, placing the right and left tubes at a 45 degree angle to the shower opening (see diagram A). The center rod will intersect the detached arm at the location that needs to be trimmed (see diagram B). Tape the area to be trimmed to protect the finish, then mark and trim the rod.
After that, use either a tube cutter or fine tooth hack saw to trim down the shower rod. Be sure to re-drill the hole at the end you cut on the same plane as the other side, so there is no twist in the mounting bracket.
Finally, when installing the shower rod, make sure the screw heads are down. There is no dimple in the piece that was just trimmed, so the screw head will interfere with the shower rings if they are located at the top of the shower rod.
