Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-Bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring it rests securely against the mounting surface. 2. Thread the nuts onto the U-Bolt legs, finger-tightening initially. 3. Evenly tighten the nuts using appropriate wrenches until the pipe is firmly secured. Avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation of the nylon.
