Cord Tension Pulleys

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

Figuring Rod Width

Always give measurement “A” from outside to outside of brackets
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”
