ASSEMBLY
Install sliders and braces as configured in the engineered plans. A forgotten slider can result in extensive disassembly. Make sure all of them are in place before
proceeding. Consult the engineered plans to determine the configuration and placement of braces.
Torque all fasteners to the values shown below:
•
Set screws for leg caps and sliders: 15 foot-pounds.
•
3/8-inch serrated flange nuts for U-bolts and rail brackets: 8 foot-pounds
•
¼-inch module mounting hardware: 10 foot-pounds
Cut brace to length and drill a
hole on the centerline, 1” from
end.
If pipe couplers are used, avoid conflicts by placing them
one-quarter to one-third of the way between leg caps and
midway between rail brackets.
Secure any braces to the caps and tighten the
screws.
Repeat this process on the South
row using front caps.
Install sliders onto pipe and
tighten set screws.
Install brace onto slider and
secure with provided hardware.
Place rear caps onto the North
(taller) pipes and tighten screws.
Slide the horizontal pipe into
the caps and and tighten screws.
