What if I just want to use black steel pipe as a curtain rod to hang heavy velvet drapes spanning a window greater than 12 feet long without the need for a center support? Ill anchor ends using flanges (nipples and elbows) screwed into solid wooden header above window. Seems like it should be more than strong enough for such a girly thing.
2 or 3 inch might work but not 3/4 or 1 inch unless you want them to
sag

The pipe, even 2 inch, will sag just from its own weight.
