Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" nominal pipe, ensuring it rests evenly on the pipe's outer surface. 2. Place the pipe and U-bolt assembly against the mounting surface, aligning the U-bolt legs with the intended fastening points. 3. Secure the U-bolt by threading the nuts onto the U-bolt legs, tightening evenly until the pipe is firmly held in place without deformation.
