Installation Procedure

1. Select the appropriate mounting surface and hardware (nuts and washers). Ensure the surface can support the intended load. 2. Position the U-bolt around the 3-inch pipe, ensuring it rests on a stable support or hanger. 3. Insert the threaded ends of the U-bolt through the mounting holes. Securely fasten using nuts and washers, tightening evenly on both sides to achieve a snug fit without overtightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the U-bolt, which can stress and damage the polycarbonate material.Tighten nuts until snug, then give a final quarter-turn. Avoid excessive force.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter, leading to a loose or insecure fit.Verify that the pipe diameter (3 inches in this case) matches the specified inside dimensions of the U-bolt.
