U-bars
3
Tools: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, Tape measure
NOTE: Refer to strutting schedules to determine placement of u-bars. Strutting
schedules are separated by windload option codes; X’s represent where a u-bar
will be placed.
U-bars will either be attached at the top, middle, or bottom of a section; if placed
across the top of a section the u-bar will be placed just below the hinge leaf at
the top of the section (except for u-bar placement on top section, which is simply
the top of the section); if placed across the bottom of a section, the u-bar will be
placed high enough on the section to ensure the hinge leafs of an adjoining section
will have clearance once sections are stacked and fastened together.
To attach a U-bar to a section: Place U-bar against section (refer to strutting schedule to
determine placement) and align it horizontally with section. Attach to section using (2) 1/4”-
