To do this, the installation center is measured from above and below, after which a mount, a sleeve and a spacer mount are put on the upper end of the pipe, which bears all the load exerted on the surface of the bar. It should abut its upper mount to the ceiling of the room. After that, the flange of the upper mount is screwed to the ceiling. You can leave the pipe simply open, but this violates the safety rules.
After everything is installed and fixed, it is necessary to close all the available fastenings with a decorative sleeve to give the design an aesthetic appearance.
