How to Order Cut–To–Measure Traverse Rods

Standard Rod Sets

(Single Or Double Combination Rods)

Specify:

1. Quantity: total quantity of each specific type rod ordered
2. Number as listed under rod set illustrations:
3. Includes: code, item number, and finish; note that separate
   numbers are listed for similar sets of heavy duty and regular
   cut–to–measure rods
4. Description: EXAMPLE: “heavy duty two–way traverse set”
5. Exact width: from outside of bracket to outside of bracket;
   allowances are made where necessary
6. Projection: when choice of projections is offered
7. Measurement from rod to floor for cord tension pulley
8. Stack and control location

Curved Rod Sets

Specify:

1. Quantity: total quantity of each specific type rod ordered
2. Quantity: total quantity of each specific type rod ordered
   Number as listed under rod set illustrations: this number includes:
   Includes: code, item number, and finish; note that separate numbers
   are listed for similar sets of heavy duty cut–to–measure rods
3. Description: EXAMPLE: “heavy duty bay window set”
4. Exact required window measurements as shown in diagram with set
   listing; Graber® will make allowance for projection specified
5. Projection: when choice of projection is offered
6. Measurement from rod to floor for cord tension pulley
7. Stack and control location

Cord Tension Pulleys

1. Graber 8–655 or 8–658 cord tension pulleys are recommended for all Graber cut–to–measure assembled sets
2. For heavier duty applications, use 8–648 metal ball bearing cord tension pulleys

Figuring Rod Width

1. Always give measurement “A” from outside to outside of brackets
2. Graber will make necessary allowances

Cutting Allowance

• Cut–to–measure rodding must be cut slightly shorter than the overall rod extension measurement to allow for brackets and pulley housings • The difference between these measurements is the “cutting allowance”
