Requirements Lutron states in this Sivoia QS guide

What the guide requires for a Sivoia QS Roller 100 shade before and during installation:

Drawing number and revision
0281-GNRL-ANG-V, rev A, printed in the title block
Sheet title
Light gap reference guide for 2.5 in tube. The title block reads angled coupler light gap reference guide (2.5 in tube)
Products named
Roller 100, Roller 150 and Roller 200CW, as the sheet prints them. Filed in the library under Sivoia QS Roller 100
Installation rule
Each coupler is set so the roller tubes on either side make equal angles to the coupler bracket. The shade panels then move smoothly
Coupler ranges
Two angled couplers, 0 to 15 degrees and 0 to 45 degrees. Lutron marks the 0 to 15 degree coupler for use when possible, to keep light gaps small
0 to 15 coupler gaps
Gap A runs from 7/8 in (22 mm) at 0 degrees to 1.00 in (25 mm) at 15 degrees. Gap B runs from 7/8 in (22 mm) at 0 degrees to 11/16 in (17 mm) at 15 degrees
0 to 45 coupler gaps
Gap A runs from 1 5/16 in (33 mm) at 0 degrees to 1 13/16 in (46 mm) at 45 degrees. Gap B runs from 1 5/16 in (33 mm) at 0 degrees to 13/16 in (21 mm) at 45 degrees
Concave angle
Regular roll gap is A, reverse roll gap is B
Convex angle
Regular roll gap is B, reverse roll gap is A
Table steps
Total angle listed every 2 degrees. Each table ends with a row at its coupler's maximum, 15 or 45 degrees
File formats and size
PDF only, about 321 KB, no DWG or DXF

Questions about this Sivoia QS guide

The answers come from this Sivoia QS guide and New Way's record of it.

What is Lutron drawing 0281-GNRL-ANG-V?

Lutron's one-page light gap reference for the 2.5 in tube, a PDF of about 321 KB, no DWG or DXF. The title block prints rev A and a 2009 copyright line, with no issue date.

Which revision of this Sivoia QS guide is current?

Rev A is the revision Lutron publishes. New Way checked it against assets.lutron.com on 16 October 2026.

Which roller shades does this Sivoia QS guide cover?

Lutron Sivoia QS roller shades in the Roller 100 drive class.

Which shades does Lutron's 2.5 in tube light gap reference apply to?

Lutron's sheet is for use with Roller 100, Roller 150 and Roller 200CW on the 2.5 in tube. The library files it under Sivoia QS Roller 100.

How big is the light gap at a 10 degree total angle?

At 10 degrees Lutron's tables give two gaps for each coupler, A and B.

  • 0 to 15 coupler: A 1.00 in (25 mm), B 3/4 in (19 mm)
  • 0 to 45 coupler: A 1 7/16 in (37 mm), B 1 3/16 in (30 mm)

Which of A and B is the gap for my shade?

Lutron's figures tie the gap letter to the angle type and the roll direction.

  • Concave angle: regular roll A, reverse roll B
  • Convex angle: regular roll B, reverse roll A

What does Lutron require when the coupler is installed?

Lutron's sheet requires each coupler set so the roller tubes on either side make equal angles to the coupler bracket. The shade panels then move smoothly.

Lutron marks the 0 to 15 degree coupler for use when possible, to keep the gaps small.
