Rogar Oval Pot Rack Installation Instructions

Thank you for purchasing the Rogar International Rectangle or Oval Pot Rack. Installation of the Pot
Rack is quick and easy, requiring only routine hand tools.
1.

Tools Required

Drill
Pencil
Pliers
Ruler
A method of locating the ceiling joists is required. An electronic, sonic, or magnetic stud finder is
best, though other means may be utilized.
2.

Planning the Installation

CAUTION:
The Pot Rack, when loaded with utensils, is quite heavy. Therefore, the supplied ceiling hooks
must be attached directly to the ceiling joists or other structural framing member. When deciding
where to hang the Pot Rack, access to the ceiling joists must be considered. The exact location
of the ceiling hooks is determined by the location and direction of the ceiling joists.
3.

Ceiling Hook Installation

Refer to Figure 1. Locate the ceiling joists and mark the locations for the ceiling hook
installation. The ceiling hooks should be spaced lengthwise along the Pot Rack 16 to 24 inches
apart. The ceiling hooks at each end of the Pot Rack should also be spaced 16 to 24 inches
apart.
Drill four holes using a drill bit slightly smaller than the smooth shank of the ceiling hook. Make
sure the bit drills into the ceiling joist; if it drills into an open area, search again for the ceiling
joist, and drill a new hole.
Screw a ceiling hook into each hole ½ inch past the point the threads are no longer visible, or
until the threads are entirely into the ceiling joist. Turn the ceiling hook so the open end of the
hook points outward from the rectangle formed by the four hooks, as shown in Figure 2. This
reduces the chance of the chains slipping off the hooks.
4.

Hanging the Pot Rack

Refer to Figure 2. Install a small "S" hook into the holes provided in the Pot Rack, with the open
end of the of the hook facing outward. Connect a chain to the other end of each "S" hook (the
open end of the hook will be facing inward at the chain end). Hook the opposite ends of the
chains to the ceiling hooks. The chains may be shortened to hang the Pot Rack closer to the
ceiling. The chains on one side may be shortened to accommodate sloped ceilings. Extra chain
is available from Rogar International. Chain pliers may be purchased at hardware stores
The Pot Rack installation is now complete.
