Installation Procedure

1. Verify the U-bolt dimensions are appropriate for the pipe and mounting surface. 2. Position the U-bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring it rests evenly on the pipe's curvature. 3. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs, tightening them alternately and evenly to achieve the specified clamping force without over-stressing the pipe or mounting hardware.
