2.9.2 Installing the First Bracket with a Chain
The following steps describe how to install the PI fixture with a supplied chain or strap.
1.
Carefully wrap the chain or strap around the pipe, taking care not to twist it.
2.
Loosen the wing nuts up to the end of the J-hooks. Then hook the chain into the tightest links and
loosely hand tighten the wing nuts. If you are using a strap, insert the J-hook into the smaller round
hole on the strap.
3.
Line up one edge of the CFG-PI holder bracket with the origin scribe line and fully tighten the chain
or strap (see Figure 33 and Figure 34 below).
