BRACKET ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUES
There are several different ways to assemble brackets and extrusion; these are explained in detail in this section. There is
no right or wrong way, but different techniques may be needed if the end of the extrusion has become blocked during the
assembly process.
3.4.1
Bracket Assembly Method
Using pre-assembled brackets is the simplest way to install a bracket on extrusion. Brackets are preassembled with nuts
and bolts before being slid into the extrusion slot and tightened (Figure 24).
1.
Insert bolts into the desired bracket holes.
2.
Put nuts onto the inserted bolts. Do not fully tighten these nuts, just a few turns will be enough. If
using locknuts, finger tight is appropriate. There should be enough exposed thread on the bolt so that
the bolt head can slide into the channel in the extrusion.
3.
Slide the bolt heads into the extrusion slot. Note that the bolt heads will only fit if they are turned with
flat sides parallel to the extrusion slot. Using a gentle shaking motion on the bracket while aligned
with the slot can help align the bolt heads.
4.
Slide the bracket to the desired location and tighten the nuts.

3.4.2
Bolt-First Method
The bolt-first method may be necessary when certain constraints prevent the bracket from sliding into its final position.
Bolts are slid into the extrusion slot and then aligned with the bracket and nuts (Figure 25).
1.
Slide the required bolts into the extrusion channel.
2.
Slide the bolts so that they are approximately spaced to fit into the bracket.
3.
Place the bracket on the the protruding bolts.
4.
Add nuts to the exposed bolts, slide the bracket into position and tighten.
