Installation and safety guidance
When fitting the C-26 to a batten, take care not to over-tighten the pipe bolt that secures the clamp to the batten. Over-tightening can dimple or “drill” into the batten and seriously compromise its strength. For proper clamping, tighten by hand until finger tight, then add only half a turn with the wrench.
