National Marker S840256 Adjustable Closet Rod 48-72 in Chrome

Product Description

The NATIONAL MARKER S840256 is a telescoping adjustable closet rod designed for residential closet installations. It spans from 48 inches to 72 inches, allowing a single rod to fit a wide range of closet widths without cutting. The PermaSeam construction uses two structurally strong rolled steel shapes that slide within each other for smooth length adjustment and a secure locked fit. Finished in chrome, the rod provides a clean, corrosion-resistant surface. Installation is handled by general contractors, remodelers, and finish carpenters as part of standard closet buildouts.

This rod is suited for standard residential closet applications where an adjustable, wall-to-wall hanging rod is required. It is appropriate for reach-in and walk-in closet configurations across a typical span range. When installed with center supports, the S840256 meets or exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.16 deflection standards, making it suitable for loaded garment storage in everyday residential use. The telescoping fit eliminates the need for field cutting during installation.

Key Features

• Adjustable length from 48 inches to 72 inches via telescoping PermaSeam design
• Two rolled steel shapes interlock for structural rigidity along the full span
• Meets or exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.16 deflection standards when used with center supports
• Chrome finish for a clean, corrosion-resistant appearance
• Steel construction for long-term load-bearing durability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation closet rod for standard residential closet systems requiring an adjustable rod in the 48-inch to 72-inch span range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by finish carpenters, remodelers, or general contractors using standard hand tools and wall anchors appropriate to the mounting surface. Always secure end brackets into wall studs or use rated wall anchors to ensure proper load support. For spans approaching 72 inches, install a center support bracket to maintain compliance with ANSI/BHMA A156.16 deflection standards and prevent sagging under load. Adjust the rod to the desired length before securing end brackets.
