2.8.1 Installing the Fixture
1.
Position the half of the clamping fixture with the threaded rods around the pipe, as shown in
Figure 23 below. Orient the fixture in the 3 o’clock position on a horizontal pipe.
2.
Position the mating half of the fixture over the threaded rods in the 9 o’clock position. Figure 23
below shows the two mounted halves.
Figure 23: Mounting the Two Halves of the Fixture
The two fixture halves have measuring scales; ensure that the scales are on the same side of the fixture, so
that both zeros start at the same origin, as shown in Figure 24 below.
