100 SERIES STANDARD DUTY
STRAIGHT TRACK
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
BEFORE BEGINNING.
A. BI-PARTING TRAVEL
BATTEN INSTALLATION
1. Place track either on the floor or on sawhorses under the
batten to which it will be attached. Make sure the tracks are
overlapped the proper amount, 2'-0" is considered standard.
Stage left track is always
spliced, please refer to the section on splices in "Special
Instructions."
2. Attach track at overlap with 1 set (two 105) overlap clamps
approximately 6" from each end. Install hangers (106) evenly
along the entire run of the track starting adjacent to end pulleys.
Refer to recommended spacing provided. Additional hangers
may be required due to site conditions. If the track is on the
floor, installer may wish to attach the track to the batten and
raise to a comfortable working level. Refer to step 5 for
attachment instructions.
3. Attach end stops (109) to the onstage (center) ends of the
track. From the offstage ends of the track, install one master
carrier (102 or117) into each track. Next, install single carriers
(101 or 116) into each track behind the master (1 single carrier
per foot of track).
4. Decide from which end the curtain will be operated. This is
the side that the double end pulley (103) will be attached.
Attach pulley to end of track with chain bracket off to the side.
After attaching the double end pulley, go to the opposite side of
the track and install the single end pulley (104). Make sure that
end pulleys are installed in a manner similar to that indicated on
the plan view detail in attached drawings.
5. Attach the track to the batten with either wire rope, welded
link chain, or pipe clamps. Use attachment method appropriate
to application. When using pipe clamps, a center pipe support
(126) should be used to eliminate twisting through the overlap.
IMPORTANT! Make sure track is parallel to floor before final
attachment. WARNING! After attaching track to batten,
make sure to balance the line set and leave at a comfortable
working level.
6. Attaching a rope clamp to one end of operating line, reeve
the OTHER end of line through the master carrier, single
carriers, and through center sheave of double end pulley. When
using 116 carriers make sure that a rubber bumper is installed
between each carrier when reeving operating line.
7. Reeve line through the floor block (108) or the sand bag
tension pulley (643) and back over the other sheave of the
double end pulley.
8. Next, the line travels toward the single end pulley. Reeve
the line through the end stop & cord support, master carrier,
single carriers, and around the single end pulley. Make sure to
placed downstage. If track needs to be
put rope clamps on the operating line when going through the
master carrier. CAUTION! Do not tighten at this time. The
line travels through the other end stop & cord support and
terminates where it started at the first master carrier. Place the
line through the master and attach the rope clamp to the
operating line leaving a small tail.
9. Make sure that all the slack in the line is on the double end
pulley side (side with the floor block). Also make sure that
there is sufficient line remaining to reach the intended finished
height.
10. Slide each of the master carriers to the onstage (center) end
stops. Now tighten each of the clamps on each master carrier.
Raise the track to its desired height. Check to see that the floor
block or sand bag tension pulley is taking the slack out of the
operating line. Operate the track to make sure everything is
running smoothly. If not, go through the entire system and
check to make sure the components are installed properly.
11. The curtain may now be attached to the carriers.
WARNING! After attaching the curtain, the line set must
be balanced. Always use caution when working with an outof-balance line set.
12. Raise the curtain and track to the desired height and adjust
the floor tension block until the operating line has no slack in it.
If a sand bag tension pulley is used, make sure the bag is filled
with dry sand (not provided with sand bag) and the bag is
securely attached to the steel housing.
B. ONE-WAY TRAVEL
BATTEN INSTALLATION
1. Place the track either on the floor or on sawhorses under the
batten to which it will be attached. If track needs to be spliced,
refer to the section on splices in "Special Instructions."
2. Install hangers (106) evenly along the entire run of the track
starting adjacent to end pulleys. Refer to recommended spacing
provided. Additional hangers may be required due to site
conditions. If the track is on the floor, installer may wish to
attach the track to the batten and raise to a comfortable working
level. Refer to step 5 for attachment instructions.
3. Decide from which end the curtain will be operated. This is
the side that the double end pulley (103) will be attached. Do
not attach the pulley to the end of the track at this time. Attach
to the opposite side of the track the single end pulley (104).
Make sure that both end pulleys will be mounted in such a
manner that both of the sheaves are on the same side of the
track. The upstage side is preferred for cosmetic reasons.
4. From the double end pulley side of the track, install a master
carrier (102 or 117) into track. Next, install single carriers (101
H & H Specialties Inc. 100 Series Installation
South El Monte, CA 91733 February 20, 2007
Page 1 of 3
or 116) into track behind the master (1 single carrier per foot of
track). Finally, attach the double end pulley on the track.
5. Attach the track to the batten with either wire rope, welded
link chain, or pipe clamps. Use method appropriate to
application. IMPORTANT! Make sure track is parallel to the
floor before final attachment. WARNING! After attaching
track to batten, make sure to balance the line set and leave
at a comfortable working level.
6. Attach a rope clamp to one end of operating line. Reeve the
OTHER end of the line through the master carrier, single
carriers, and through the center sheave of double end pulley.
When using 116 carriers, make sure that a rubber bumper is
installed between each carrier when reeving operating line.
7. Reeve line through the floor block (108) or the sand
bag tension pulley (643) and back over the other sheave of the
double end pulley.
8. Next, the line now travels to the single end pulley. Reeve
around the single end pulley and back to the master carrier.
Place the line through the master carrier and attach the rope
clamp to the operating line leaving a small tail.
9. Raise the track to the desired height. Check to see that the
floor block or sand bag tension pulley is taking the slack out of
the operating line. Operate the track to make sure everything is
running smoothly. If not, go through the entire system and
check to make sure the components are installed properly.
10. The curtain may now be attached to the carriers.
WARNING! After attaching the curtain, the line set must
be balanced. Always use caution when working with an outof-balance line set.
splice.
4. On either a dead hung or ceiling installation using Model
101S or 101A, it is recommended that trim chains (135) be
installed on the carriers to provide adjustment in curtain height.
Dead Hung Installation
1. Determine where the hanging points for the track will be.
Use either wire rope or welded link chain to hang track.
Hanging points need to be at ends adjacent to end pulleys and
evenly spaced along the entire run of the track. Refer to
recommended spacing provided. Additional hangers may be
required due to site conditions. Hanging method must be
adjustable to allow for trimming the track parallel to floor.
2. Place track on the floor or on sawhorses in the exact location
that the track will be positioned. If the track is overlapped,
allow 2'-0" for this purpose. Place track hangers on track under
hanging points.
3. Raise track in sections and attach to hanging points.
Leveling the track in sections is suggested. If the track is
overlapped, remember to attach the overlap clamps after both
tracks are correctly positioned. Depending on curtain material,
the track may need to be hung 1-3 inches higher than its finished
height to allow for fabric stretch. After the curtain has been
hung for a period of time, it may need to be re-trimmed.
4. Once the track has been hung and leveled, the track is rigged
the same as a batten mounted track for either one-way or biparting (Steps 3,4 & 6-12).
Ceiling mount
11. Raise the curtain and track to the desired height and adjust
the floor tension block until the operating line has no slack in it.
If a sand bag tension pulley is used, make sure the bag is filled
with dry sand (not provided with sand bag) and the bag is
securely attached to the steel housing.
C. DEAD HUNG OR CEILING MOUNT
INSTALLATION
Before Beginning.
1. When installing a dead hung track, a decision must be made
whether to install the track in sections or as a complete unit.
Basis for this decision is the ability of the installer to lift and
hold the track in place. The 110S track channel weighs 1.50
pounds per foot. (30 pounds for a 20'-0" length).
2. If installing on a ceiling, make careful measurements to
determine if the ceiling is parallel to the floor. If not, shim the
track accordingly. Also, take careful measurements in
determining structural points in the ceiling to attach the track.
Use appropriate hardware to attach the track to the ceiling based
on roof structure and total track loads.
3. If track needs to be spliced with ceiling splice (127), splicing
is sometimes easier if done on the floor or on sawhorses. The
ceiling splice is a bolt through splice and care is needed to
assure that the carriers will still pass through the splice.
CAUTION! Wheels of 10 pivot device will not pass a 127
1. After determining the condition of the ceiling and its relation
to the floor, lay the track on the floor or on sawhorses in the
position that it will be installed. Using a plumb line, mark and
drill for attachment to ceiling under each structural support to
which it will be attached.
2. Use a plumb line to determining the position of the track
relative to the ceiling. Raise the track and use appropriate
hanging method for job conditions. Make sure the track is
parallel to the floor and provisions have been made to trim for
curtain stretch.
3. After the track is installed, it is rigged in the same way as a
batten mounted bi-parting or one-way track. (Steps 3,4 & 6-12).
Note: Clamp hangers and overlap clamps are not provided or
used with ceiling mounted COMPLETE tracks.
D. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Splicing Track
1. In order to have a smooth operating track it is important that
the track splices are installed properly and carefully. Do not
over tighten the fasteners.
2. Make sure that the ends of the track are smooth and no
jagged edges are protruding. Filing a slight downward bevel
H & H Specialties Inc. 100 Series Installation
South El Monte, CA 91733 February 20, 2007
Page 2 of 3
and rounding the corners will help form a smooth splice. If the
track ends are not smooth, proper alignment may be impossible.
3. Loosen the splice and butt the track sections together in the
splice. Tighten the four 1/4" splice attachment bolts (on top of
splice) until the track is held loosely. CAUTION! Do not
overtighten.
4. Tighten the 1/4" adjustment screws on the top of the track
until the track is seated firmly in the splice clamp. Next, tighten
the other side of the splice in the same manner. Make sure that
the track ends are still butted together. CAUTION! Do not
over tighten the bolts since deformation of the track is
possible.
5. The adjustment screws on the side of the splice are used to
hold the side alignment of the track. Start by turning the screws
on one side of the splice until they touch the track, then do the
same to the other side. Any side misalignment may be adjusted
by alternately tightening or loosening various screws.
6. When the track is aligned, tighten the 1/4" splice attachment
bolts together. Caution! Make sure that the track stays in
alignment as you tighten the splice.
3. As the curtain is pulled open, it is pulled back into the pocket
flat and does not start to fold until the carrier stops. The curtain
does not billow as it moves offstage and will fold neatly in the
pocket.

Pivot Devices
1. Pivot devices allow for curtains to be positioned at different
angles relative to the track. The 10, 10B, 10X, and 10XB are
free-wheeling units. The addition of the optional 10BK and
10BKB brake kit will prevent undesired movement of pivot
along track.
2. The pivot devices are designed for either 1-3/8" O.D. tubing
or 1" Sch. 40 pipe. Maximum recommended batten length is 6'0". Make sure that the batten is the proper length for the
application.
3. Install the "C" clamps in each end of the curtain batten.
These are provided so that a cord may be tied between the two
to aid in turning the device. The cord should be long enough so
that adjustment may be done with the curtain at its proper trim.
4. WARNING! Tracks that include pivot devices must be
provided with a bolt through style end stop (111) to contain
the pivot device within the track assembly.
4. CAUTION! Do not attempt to adjust the curtain by
means of pulling on the fabric. Damage to the curtain and
associated hardware may result.
5. CAUTION! The recommended total load on the device
must not exceed 75 pounds.
