Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring proper clearance for the mounting surface. 2. Thread the accompanying nuts onto the U-bolt legs, hand-tightening initially. 3. Using appropriate wrenches, tighten the nuts incrementally and evenly to achieve the desired clamping force without over-stressing the nylon material.
