2. To prepare the pipe, temporarily position a mounting bracket on the pipe where you

will be mounting it. Ensure that the pipe surface is smooth without any raised areas

(seams, etc.) With a pencil, marker or chalk, draw a generous rectangle around the

bracket. Clean and de-grease the area within the rectangle. Use the small sanding block

provided with the installation hardware as necessary to remove any grit, corrosion,

rust, loose paint or other contaminants. Be sure to wipe the surface clean after sanding.

The cleaned surface should extend at least ½” beyond the length and width of the

mounting bracket.

3. Attach the spacer bar to one of the mounting brackets at the reference hole.
