2mm White Plastic Vertical Blind Control Chain – Cut Length

Replacement White Vertical Blind Control Chain

Replace a broken, worn or discoloured beaded control chain on a compatible vertical blind.

This white plastic beaded chain operates the mechanism that rotates the vertical-blind slats. It can be cut to the required length and joined into a loop using one of the supplied connectors.

Product specifications

• Bead diameter: approximately 2mm

• Connecting cord diameter: approximately 1.5mm

• Approximately 30 beads per 10cm

• Colour: white

• Material: plastic beads with connecting cord

• Supplied in one continuous cut length

• Chain connectors included according to the selected option

Length options

• 3 metres with 1 connector

• 5 metres with 2 connectors

• 10 metres with 5 connectors

• 20 metres with 10 connectors

• 100 metres with 50 connectors

The selected measurement is the total cut length supplied, not the finished loop drop.

Calculating the required length

To estimate the amount required, measure the desired top-to-bottom loop drop and multiply it by two.

For example:

• A 50cm loop drop requires approximately 1 metre of chain.

• A 75cm loop drop requires approximately 1.5 metres of chain.

• A 100cm loop drop requires approximately 2 metres of chain.

Allow a little extra chain for fitting and adjustment.

Check compatibility

Blind mechanisms use different bead sizes and spacing. Before ordering, compare your existing chain with the measurements above and with our product photographs.

This product:

• Is intended for compatible vertical-blind mechanisms

• Rotates the vertical-blind slats

• Is not the nylon operating cord that draws the blind open and closed

• Is not the larger No.10 chain commonly used with roller and Roman blinds

If you are uncertain, send us a clear photograph of your existing chain beside a ruler before ordering.

How to fit

1. Access the control mechanism at the end of the headrail.

2. Carefully remove the existing chain.

3. Feed the replacement chain through the mechanism.

4. Cut it to the required length if necessary.

5. Join the ends using a supplied connector.

6. Check that the chain runs smoothly and is not twisted.

7. Secure the loop using an appropriate child-safety tensioning device.

Fitting methods vary between headrail systems. Follow the blind manufacturer’s instructions where available.

Child-safety information

Looped blind chains must be securely restrained and kept out of the reach of children.

Always fit an appropriate chain-tensioning safety device. Replace any missing or damaged safety device before using the blind.

Important information

• Chain and stated connectors only

• Supplied as a cut length, not an endless manufactured loop

• Check bead size and spacing before ordering

Compatibility is the customer’s responsibility. Please check the product specifications carefully before purchasing.
