How much stack space is required for the curtain?	Please see the Track Selector Guide which is accessible from the Home Page.
When is factory curving included?	Factory curving is included in CWANA pricing when the following track systems are orderd CWANA: 500 Patriarc 350 Curvit-Sure 114C Vers-Util (curved) For all other track systems, track curving is an additional cost.
What to I need I to furnish in order to have a track factory curved?	For factory curving, we must have one of the following: Plan view scaled drawing of the track. Full size template for the track.
Which tracks can be curved?	Only the following tracks are available curved: 114 Vers-Util® 130 Flex-I-Trac® 140 Rig-I-Flex® 420 Tripl-I-Trac® 350 Curvit-Sure® 500 Patriarc® Only the Model 500 Patriarc® and 114 Vers-Util® can be reverse curved.
What additional items are needed for curved track systems?	The Model 114 requires no addtional components. The 130 series track systems are walk-along operation only and require no additonal components. The Model 140 track system requires the addition of 1458, 1459, 1460, & 1460A spindle and idlers. The 420 series track system require the addition of 4258, 4259, & 4260 spindle and idlers. The Model 350 series track includes all necessary components in its CWANA pricing The Model 500 series track includes cable guides in its CWANA pricing.
What is the minimum curving radius for tracks?	The smaller the radii, the more difficult the operation. Radii should be as large as possible to help limit the operating load of track systems. Models 500, 420, 140, 130 - minimum radius is 2 feet. Model 114 - minimum radius is 1 foot when 6" carrier spacing is used. Model 350 & 340 - mnimum radius is 7 feet.
Why use ball-bearing equipped carriers?	There are 4 distinct advantages to using ball-bearing equipped carriers. They increase the per foot load rating of the track system. They provide quieter operation. They make the operation of the track system easier. They are more durable than non-ball-bearing equipped carriers.
When should nylon-tired or neoprene-tired carriers be used?	Whenever ball-bearing carriers are used, a choice between nylon-tired and neoprene-tired wheels is generally available. The advantage of neoprene-tired carriers is that they provide a quieter operation, especially when going over splices in the track. One possible disadvantage is that if the curtain is heavy and if it is left in one position for a long period of time, the neoprene carriers may flatten a bit due to the static load. This will cause the carrier to vibrate and create a slight noise when the operate. Nylon-tired carriers do not flatten out and still provide a higher per foot load rating. The hard nylon tires provide years of service, but are a bit noisier going over splices.
When should larger than standard end pulleys be used?	The larger the live & dead end pulleys, the easier the track system will operate. Track systems with long runs or with heavy curtains should use systems equipped with these larger pulleys.
What tracks are available with a black finish?	All aluminum tracks are available with a black anodize or electro-static black finish. The Models 2800A and 1700A are furnished standard with a black anodized finish. We stock the 1400 track channel with a black electro-static finish. The model number for this track is 1400BL. All other aluminum tracks need to be sent out to be anodized or painted. All steel channel tracks are furnished with a galvanized finish. In order for these tracks to be furnished with a black finish they must be powder coated black. We do not stock these tracks with a black finish. The maximum length for powder coated tracks is 16 feet.
Which tracks can be reversed curved?	Only the following track Models can be used in reverse curved layout: Model 500 Patriarc (minimum radius 2 feet) Model 114 Vers-Util (minimum radius 2 feet)
