FNW 7203 Installation And Use Instruction

This instruction manual includes installation and proper use information for FNW figure 7203 and 7204 malleable
iron beam clamps.
To avoid personal injury to yourself, fellow workers, or damage to property from improper use:
a. Verify beam clamps are used within listed load and temperature limits (see load charts, page 2).
b. Only install beam clamps with loads in line with threaded rod (suppled by others).
c. Do not install beam clamps with loads at angles to threaded rod or by bending threaded rod as stresses can
be transmitted unpredictably to the clamp.
d. Reverse installation of beam clamps is not allowed. *3/8" only size acceptable for reverse installation
(max load 200 lbs).
e. Only use hardware (i.e. - Clamp, Set Screw, and Hex Nut) suppled in this kit. Use of third party hardware
will void any warranty with FNW.
f. Do not overtighten set screw beyond what is outlined in these instructions. Overtightening can reduce load
capacity up to and including failure of the beam clamp.
