Preparing the threaded rod assemblies

Install the flange spacers only if the thickness of the column flange exceeds 3/8" (1 cm). The mounting holes on the
spacer are closer to one side than the other. Make sure the closer side is facing the column.
The Column Mount requires four (4) threaded rod assemblies; the Safety Cable Mount requires two (2) threaded rod
assemblies.
1. To determine the necessary length of the (6) threaded rods, measure the depth of the column (flange to flange), and then add three
(3) inches. Cut the (6) threaded rods to the total length.
2. Thread two (2) hex nuts onto both ends of a threaded rod. On one end of the rod, position the first hex nut 2-1/4" (5.7 cm) from the
end. Thread the second hex nut directly behind the first. Refer to the illustrations below and on the following page.
3. Using two (2) 3/4" wrenches, tighten the second hex nut to the first hex nut. Repeat the process for the remaining (3) threaded rods.
4. Slide a flat washer, beam clip, and, if necessary, a flange spacer (in that order) onto both sides of the threaded rod. Refer to the
illustrations below and on the following page. Note: Beam clips and flange spacers used on the (4) Column Mount threaded rod
assemblies are larger than those used on the (2) Safety Cable Mount threaded rod assemblies.
5. Repeat steps 2–4 for the remaining (5) threaded rods.
