the beam. Ensure the rods are in the holes closest to the sides of the beam.
4. Screw square nuts on the ends of the threaded rods inside the mounting channel.
5. Slide clamping angles over the other ends of the threaded rods and loosely install the
washers and nuts.
6. Make final adjustments in the positioning of the accent to ensure it is flush and level,
and firmly tighten all of the 1 /
