Basic Rod Fixing Kits, Rods and Fixing Components
The 6mm Rod Display System offers a variety of modular components, including rods, top/bottom rod fixings, wall fixings, panel/shelf support fittings, specialty supports, and finishing components. This system is suitable for standard ceiling-to-floor and wall-to-wall suspended applications, as well as various other special configurations. The standard threaded rod lengths are 1.5m (4′ 11-1/16″) and 0.5m (1′ 7-11/16″). The rods can be adjusted by joining them together for longer lengths or shortened in place during installation. Additionally, rods are available in 1m (3′ 3-1/32″) and 0.5m (1′ 7-11/16″) with non-threaded ends for use in wall-mounted applications. The most popular standard rod suspended fixing kits include rod fixings for ceiling, ceiling-to-floor, or wall-to-wall applications, rods, and decorative end caps. Furthermore, panel/shelf side-grips or other specialty supports can be added at your discretion.

Note: 6mm rods are available in standard rod suspension kits with ceiling-overhead, ceiling-to-floor, or wall-to-wall fixings. Ceiling-to-floor suspension kit comes with two or three R1500 rods. For taller suspended display applications additional R500 or R1500 threaded rods can be purchased separately. Rods can be shortened in place during installation. Use KRS-RG05 Ceiling Fixing Kit with top panel support for hanging lightweight signs and graphic panels (not recommended for heavy items suspended overhead). Individual components for use with our standard suspension kits can be found in the component section below.

Note: Use RS and RAS fixings with 6mm left-hand threaded rods only — Join two or more of R1500 threaded rods to make any length and cut to size. Once screwed together the rods appear continuous. Use RP fixing with 6mm non-threaded rods for short run applications or for wall-mount rod stabilizer supports (not intended for use with ceiling suspended applications). REC end cap requires the rods to have flat finished ends in order to fit (it cannot be used on the male threads end).
Specialized Accessories and Components
6mm rod system comes with left-hand M4 threaded rods. With a male thread at one end and a female at the other, the rods allow to be screwed into the top fixing or joined together to make longer lengths. Once screwed together the rods look like a continuous rod. Cut the rod with a hack saw at the bottom to achieve the overall required length.
Use WM11, WM11L, or RS03 fixings to mount 6mm rods onto wall to create stylish interior signage and wall displays such as hook-on acrylic pockets — just insert your print and hook on in the desired position, easy to change for displaying all types of information. Use also with RGN01 or RG01 side-grips to support panels between two horizontal rods.
Use to stabilize ceiling-to-floor suspended rods — not intended for use as a weight support structure. Standard wall projecting rod stabilizer comes in two sizes to accommodate for 24mm (7/8”) and 48mm (1-7/8”) spacing. Customizable kits use 6mm diameter rods that can be cut to any size — adjusted and shortened in place during installation.
Standard and Multi-Position Supports — Panel and Shelf Applications
Supplied in a range of single and double-sided clamp supports for holding panels and shelves, top panel supports for hanging overhead signs, top/bottom supports for gripping onto front mounted panels, and multi-position swivel supports for holding angled presentations. Available in a few standard sizes to support 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” thick panels or shelves. Use multi-position swivel supports for applications that require an angled orientation. These fittings are adjustable to any angle and can be locked into position.

Note: Aluminum rails are offered in lengths of 4, 6, or 8 feet, with custom sizes available upon request. For installation, rail/track systems must be securely mounted to a solid structure or blocking. This includes attaching tracks to ceiling struts, structures above the ceiling line, or wall studs. The spacing for anchoring depends on the track’s sectional size, requiring anchors at least every 12 inches for ceiling installations and every 32 inches for wall applications. The overall durability and capacity of the assembly are contingent upon the secure attachment of the anchors to the ceiling or wall. The total weight the display can support is determined by both the strength of the individual anchors and the number of mounting points used.
