Is this a screw mount shower rod, or a tension rod? I'm looking for a screw mount so that it does not fall down. I'm reading conflicting things. thx

The shower rod is tension mounted. It holds fine with the exception of extra weight from multiple towels. That is the only time I had a problem with the rod. Otherwise, it is fine and holds very well. I like the fact I did not have to drill into the tile to mount it.

This is a very good tension rod. It only fell down once when I hung wet towels on it. If it only needs to hold a shower curtain and liner, it does just fine. But if you need to hang laundry to dry on it, get a screw mount.

This is a tension rod. They make small rods that you have to nail the hanger to the wall then you can use the rod.Use a sash rod.. SASH CURTAIN ROD FOR DOOR PANELS #820 - 11" TO 19"

What is a water cord? Do you mean the flange pipe that comes out of the wall? I have had no problems with my shower head. I love it! Could you have over tightened it, or not used plumber's tape when you installed it?

Showerheads are super easy to instal. They just twist on/off like a screw. Thats the same process for this one. It screws right on and you can angle it any which way you like. It has a good range of motion. If you want even more positions you can buy an extension rod from any department store. Hope this helps!~Nikky

Yes - it has something like an internal spring - and it always "pushes out" and that is what holds it up. The ends have something like "rubberized" caps that keep it from slipping on the tile. This is a classic design that is commonly used unless you actually want to screw the rod into the walls. It is adjustable in length by "turning the two ends". It's simple once you see it. I have used rods like this for decades in the shower and smaller, decorative ones for windows (if you put the drape inside the framing). Works well. Hope this answer helps

It is screwed down. We have no problem with it. My mother uses it as well when taking a shower.It is very convenient.

No, it is not a tension rod, though it is adjustable. You will have to drill holes in the walls.

I imagine there might be some variation. Mine came with both -- a plastic hook for general use, and a metal one built to hang from a shower curtain rod. I use neither; a nail in the wall works fine for me.

I am not sure of the exact weight that this shower rod can hold. All I can say is my current rod holds a regular shower curtain and a curtain liner. It's been up for months with no problems. I purchased several others that would not stay up because my tile runs pretty high up in my bathtub area and I guess I was putting too much weight on them. This rod is designed just right.

You need it to stabilize the bar and because of the weight from the two shower curtains. Use a hack saw and cut the rod to proper length. It takes two people to install the set. If you don't hit a stud then use toggle bolts.

Hello Lucy, it is NOT a tension rod, you will need to drill holes. But it is a very nice rod.

Best to use on a shower rod. You can put it on without having to take down the rod.

There is a "soft mount" and the recommended "hard mount". So basically it's like a tension rod that you keep twisting in the door frame until there is enough tension to hold the bar. That's the soft mount. The hard mount you screw in to the door way.

I've had mine up for a few months now and have had NO slip/fall issues withe the shower rod. I even have a pocketed liner with a few lite items & still no issues!

It can be hung on the shower rod assuming the diameter of the rod corresponds to the hanger. However, it will hang perpendicular to the tub/shower. Hanging it on the shower rod may also restrict the amount of weight that it can hold without pulling down the rod. The hanger can be removed and you can use the grommets at the top for inserted shower curtain rings. I have used it this way but, again, the weight it can hold is dependent on what the shower rod will withstand. Hope this helps.

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

No. It works fine hanging from a tension rod. That's where mine hangs and I've had no problem with it. It's great!Marilyn Seaquist
