I ordered a pair of these swivel sockets to use with 3 of the Levolor Fluted End Cap Rod Set, Satin Nickel, 1-Inch Diameter, 36 to 66-Inch Width and they work great. It is a bay window and these eliminate unsightly rod ends in the middle, instead creating one continuous rod. They look great and fit perfectly with these rods.

The instructions say to take apart the swivel to assemble with the rods in the brackets already, but I found it easiest to assemble the swivels and the rods and then put them in the brackets. This also cuts down on the brackets you need to mount. For 3 rods, I only had to use 4 brackets total instead of the 6 I would've needed without these swivels.

For use with other Levolor rods, I can highly recommend these as a much less expensive option than trying to find a custom bay window curtain rod.

I bought this for a corner and it didn't fit the screw holes for the original rods I had bought. I didn't realize that there were different size screw holes I assumed they were all the same. I ended up buying new rods to fit because I had to have one for a corner. It works well and its really sturdy but I would keep the screw sizes in mind when buying this.

Ordered the Levelor Swivel Sockets along with the matching Levelor rod for our bay window. Worked like a charm. Just adjust the angle, and tighten the screws. If you have to cut the rod to a specific length, which most people will for a bay window, try to remove the plastic insert in the rod end(if equipped) and reuse it in the shortened rod. It makes it much more secure if the swivel can screw into the rod end as designed.If your rod doesn't have the plastic insert, you may want to hot glue or epoxy the rod into the swivel for strength and stability.
