Chain/Clutch Driven Roller Shade Installation Instructions

Note: We sell the clutch kits without consideration of use. Clutches are rated for capacity to hold a material in place. Clutches with small heads require more pull force to lift a shade than a clutch with a larger head. Larger tubes will require more pull force than smaller tubes. Below are our generic recommendations for clutch use which are conservative. Tube deflection and pull force are considered.
   •  Shades up to 36" width - R8C02 Clutch and 1" Tube
   •  Shades up to 48" width - R8C01 Clutch and 1.125" Tube
   •  Shades up to 60" width - R8C03 Clutch and 1.25" Tube
   •  Shades up to 64" width - R8C14 Clutch and 1.5" Tube
   •  Shades up to 96" width - R16 or R24 Clutch and 1.5" Tube
   •  Shades up to 120" width - R16 or R24 Clutch and 2" Tube
   •  Shades up to 144" width - R24 Clutch and 2.5" Tube

Actual shade size, tube size and material should be used to determine the true limits of a system. The Shade Fabricator Calculator below will predict tube deflection (and more) based on tube size, material weight, width and height. Tube deflection is bending of the tube and causes ripples in the hanging shade material.
