Correct Bracket for 1.25” Tube & 1.5” Top Slow-Rise RV Shade

Customer Question

I received the wrong mounting bracket for my custom slow-rise RV window shade with a 1.25” tube and 1.5” top. Can you provide the correct bracket or its catalog number so I can replace it?

Expert Answer

The correct mounting bracket is not confirmed by a 1.25-inch tube and a reported 1.5-inch “top” measurement alone. The earlier recommendation of a “1.25-inch Value Line mounting kit” does not establish a match for your custom Slow-Rise shade. Identify the shade manufacturer and series, the top-rail profile, the mounting surface and the actual bracket shape before ordering.

Irvine's official replacement-parts page shows separate Slow-Rise and Valu-Line bracket groups. The Slow-Rise group includes #1 mounting clip, #2 spring clip, #3 flat bracket, #4 regular L bracket and #5 large L bracket. The Valu-Line group uses different numbered hardware, including #7 Valu spring clip. A tube measurement does not select among those mounting styles.

For comparison, the current Irvine #1 Slow-Rise mounting-clip listing has catalog SKU NUM1BRACKET. It is a reference candidate only; we have not matched it to your top rail or mounting arrangement. The #7 Valu-Line clip is a different shape and catalog part, not an automatic substitute. Match the original clip's engagement profile, hole spacing, offset and mounting orientation as well as available clearance.

Send clear photos of the shade label, exposed top rail, original and received brackets, and the mounting surface, with dimensions taken from the same reference points. That comparison is needed before confirming the correct catalog number. This older question does not establish a replacement shipment, exchange or return authorization.
