Installation of the rail with the ratchet clasp
• Cut the tension strap to length (pipe circumf at least 120 mm).
• Insert approx. 100 mm of the tension strap into parts 1 and 2 of the ratchet clasp (see Fig. 8.38 a).
• Bend the tension strap.
• Insert the tension strap into part 1 of the ratchet clasp (see Fig. 8.38 b).
• Tighten the tension strap.
• Insert the long end of the tension strap into the tension strap clamp and the metal spring (see Fig. 8.39). It is not neces-
sary to mount the metal spring:
– on steel pipes
– on pipes with an outer pipe diameter < 80 mm or
– on pipes that are not subjected to significant temperature fluctuations
• Place the tension strap around the pipe (see Fig. 8.40).
• Position the metal spring (if mounted), the ratchet clasp and the tension strap clamp:
– On a horizontal pipe, mount the tension strap clamp on the side of the pipe, if possible.
– Mount the metal spring (if necessary) on the opposite side of the tension strap clamp.
• Insert the long end of the tension strap into part 3 of the ratchet clasp (see Fig. 8.41).
• Tighten the tension strap.
• Cut off the protruding tension strap (see Fig. 8.42).
• Tighten the screw of the ratchet clasp.
• Repeat the steps for the second tension strap.
Note!
The edge of the tension strap is very sharp, leading to risk of injury. Remove the burr of the sharp edge.
