Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" nominal pipe, ensuring it sits flush against the mounting surface. 2. Thread the appropriate nuts and washers onto the U-bolt ends, hand-tightening initially. 3. Using calibrated torque wrenches, tighten the nuts evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for the 1/2"-13 thread size to prevent over-stressing the pipe or bracket.
