The ASI 1201-A Stainless Steel Shower Curtain Rod is a well - crafted rounded rod that combines durability with great looks. It can be adjusted to a length between 61 and 63 inches and is meant for outside - wall mounting. Made from 18 - gauge, type - 304, 18 - 8 alloy stainless steel tubing, it has an appealing satin finish. This finish makes water splashes less obvious on the surface. With a 1 - inch diameter, it matches well with ASI 1200 - SHU Shower Hooks and the ASI 1200 - V Shower Curtain. The mounting flanges at both ends have countersunk holes for #10, 2 - inch sheet metal screws (sold separately). They are made of rust - proof Zamac with a chrome finish. The surface - mounted design allows for easy installation on common shower hard surfaces like plaster, tile, masonry, and drywall.
Using this ASI 1201 - A shower curtain rod is a breeze. First, decide where you want to install it on the shower wall. Make sure the wall surface is clean and dry. The rod can be adjusted to fit between 61 and 63 inches, so set it to the right length for your shower. Remember, you'll need to buy #10, 2 - inch sheet metal screws separately to attach the mounting flanges to the wall. Once the flanges are in place, slide the rod into them. You can then hang your ASI 1200 - SHU Shower Hooks and ASI 1200 - V Shower Curtain on it. As for maintenance, simply wipe the rod with a soft cloth after each use to keep it looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the satin finish. If there are any water splashes, they're not very noticeable thanks to the finish, but it's still good to dry the rod regularly to prevent long - term water damage. And because the mounting flanges are made of rust - proof Zamac, you don't have to worry about rust, but keep an eye on the screws and make sure they're tight over time.
