Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring it rests securely on the pipe's outer diameter. 2. Thread the appropriate nuts onto the bolt ends, hand-tightening initially. 3. Using calibrated torque wrenches, tighten the nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification, ensuring even pressure on both sides to prevent pipe distortion.
