the flexible hose by following the applicable instructions in the "Connection to Sprinkler
Piping" and "Connecting the Sprinkler Reducing Nipple to the Flexible Hose" sections.

For adjustment purposes, the wing screw on top of one end bracket assembly can be
loosened to allow the end bracket to slide on the square bar. Tighten the wing screw on
top of the each end bracket assembly to a torque of 36 inch-lbs/4 N•m (approximately 1/2
to 3/4 of a turn past hand-tight) to secure the end bracket to the square bar.
