Installing the
Fixture
1.
Position the half of the clamping fixture with the threaded rods around the pipe,
as shown in Figure 1-6 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 1-6 below shows the two mounted halves.
Figure 1-6: 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 1-7 below.
