Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, general contractors, or qualified tradespeople. Pre-drill or tap the receiving surface to match the 3/16 inch thread specification before driving the bolt. Tighten the hex nut securely against the mounting surface to prevent loosening under load. Always verify the load rating of the mounting surface and confirm that the application does not exceed the structural limits of the hardware.
