Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring it straddles the pipe evenly. 2. Insert the threaded ends through the mounting surface or bracket, engaging with appropriate nuts and washers (not included). 3. Tighten nuts uniformly to the specified torque for secure pipe support, avoiding overtightening which could stress the polycarbonate.
