c. With the RFTs side by side,

position a 20” unistrut (open
side facing up) in place over
one pair of 8” unistruts.

Ensure the long unistrut is

centered over the RFT.


d. Using two or three 5/16-18

bolts, 5/16” split
lockwashers, and 5/16” flat
washers, attach the 20”
unistrut to the 8” unistruts.


Tighten the bolts firmly.

e. Attach the second 20” unistrut to the second set of 8” unistruts by repeating

Steps 3.a. through 3.d.

4. Install the pipe blocks as follows:

a. Install two spring nuts in each of the two 20” long unistruts and two 14” long

unistruts (centered in the unistruts, and wide enough apart so the pipe blocks
will clear the pole when the unit is installed).

b. Install each spring nut as follows:

(1) Place the spring nut in the unistrut channel, spring side down, with its

wide side parallel with the unistrut channel.


(2) Press down on the spring nut to compress the spring, and rotate the nut

90

° (i.e., perpendicular to the unistrut).


(3) Release pressure on the spring nut.

(4) Repeat Steps 4.b.(1) through 4.b.(3) for each spring nut.
