Installation Procedure

1. Verify the U-bolt dimensions are appropriate for the 4" nominal pipe and mounting surface. 2. Position the U-bolt around the pipe and through the mounting holes, ensuring even distribution of load. 3. Secure the U-bolt by tightening the nuts onto the threaded ends, applying even torque to both nuts to prevent overstressing the pipe or mounting surface.
