Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring it is centered and the pipe is properly supported by other means. 2. Place the pipe between the legs of the U-bolt, aligning with the intended mounting surface. 3. Secure the U-bolt by threading the appropriate nuts onto the bolt legs, tightening evenly on both sides until the pipe is firmly held against the mounting surface.
