Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring it straddles the pipe uniformly. 2. Place the U-bolt plate or saddle beneath the pipe and align the threaded ends of the U-bolt with the corresponding holes. 3. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt ends until snug, then tighten evenly on both sides to secure the pipe without over-compressing the material.
