Coulisse RTU-80 Roller Shade Tube
The Coulisse RTU-80 is a large 80mm aluminum tube designed for compatible manual and motorized roller shade systems. Its substantial profile provides a rigid foundation for constructing large roller shades when used as part of a properly engineered system.
The tube features an integrated longitudinal channel running along its full length. Its internal profile is designed to accept compatible Coulisse operating components and tube adapters.
The RTU-80 can be cut to the required finished size for custom roller shade fabrication.
Compatible Motors
Official Coulisse configuration drawings show the RTU-80 with the following tubular motors:
- Coulisse CM-06
- Coulisse CM-09
- Coulisse CM-10
The motorized configuration uses the compatible RCU-14 tube adapter together with the appropriate crown, drive, brackets and operating components.
Do not automatically list CM-03-E, CM-05-E, CM-45-E, CM-06-E-R or CM-50-E-R as compatible unless the exact motor and adapter combination is confirmed separately by Coulisse.
Manual Operation
The Coulisse RTU-80 is also shown in compatible manual chain-operated roller shade configurations.
Manual operation requires a correctly sized clutch, idle end, brackets and related system components suitable for the finished shade dimensions and weight.

Important Compatibility Information
This listing is for the aluminum tube only. Motors, adapters, brackets, controls and other operating components are sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise.
A large tube does not automatically make every motor compatible. The motor must be selected according to the finished shade width, height, fabric weight, tube deflection, roll direction, operating speed and required torque.
The complete system configuration and all adapters must be confirmed before ordering.
Cut-to-size tubes are custom products and cannot be returned or exchanged. Contact Roller Shade Factory before ordering if you need assistance confirming compatibility.
