Note: The placement of the pipe blocks may interfere with the inner or center
unistrut attaching bolts. Be sure to determine the pipe block placement locations

inner or center mounting spring nuts and bolts.

a.

Position an 20” unistrut (with
the open side facing up) over
one set of the mounting holes

b. Using six 3/8-20 x 1” bolts,

3/8” split lockwashers, and
3/8” flat washers, attach the
20” unistrut to the mounting
bracket.

Note: Tighten the bolts firmly.

Repeat Steps 3.a. and 3.b. for
each of the remaining 20”
