This high profile wand tilt mechanism is used in 2″ wood and faux wood blinds that have a 2” by 2 ¼” headrail. It tilts the slats open and closed.
This part is considered heavy-duty because it has a metal shaft and internal gear. This will provide a longer life than an all-plastic mechanism.
The end of the shaft on this part has an eyelet hole. It requires a tilt wand with a specific metal wire and plastic cap on the end of it for proper attachment. This wand is compatible: W-04-CLEAR.
It has a 1/4″ square hole on both sides of the part, and has a stepped foot that fits into both 3/4″ and 1″ headrail punches. The punch is the rectangular cut out where the shaft of the tilt mechanism sticks through the bottom of the headrail.
This mechanism twists the opposite way of most others. When the wand is twisted clockwise, the gear inside the mechanism moves counter-clockwise. This means that you may have to twist the wand in the opposite direction than you’re used to when opening or closing the slats on your blind.
White plastic body and silver metal shaft and gears.
Sold individually.
This is a direct replacement for older discontinued tilt mechanisms that were used by Hunter Douglas and 3 Day Blinds.
