Round center support for 1-1/16 tubing from Epco is a dull chrome support fitting designed to carry closet rod loads along the span. The round design grips the tubing profile so the rod tracks straight across the closet, which helps prevent sagging in the middle of longer runs. This center support is classified under closet rods and flanges, so it works as part of a typical closet tubing layout between end flanges. The support is specified for 1 inch and 1-1/16 inch tubing, which covers the common round closet rod sizes used in many shop and jobsite builds. A zinc construction support provides a solid metal bearing surface for the rod, helping the hanging load transfer into the mounting surface instead of flexing the tubing.
