Assembling the mounting bracket and pipe
This section describes how to attach the mounting bracket to the mounting pipe.
The recommended procedure is to attach the the bracket-and-pipe assembly to
the mounting surface (wall, roof, or under the eaves) and then attach the ERU to
the mounting pipe. This makes it easier to handle the assembly while attaching it
to the mounting surface.
You will use three bolts to attach the mounting bracket to the mounting pipe.
These bolts are inserted into the diamond-shaped holes on the mounting bracket
as shown in the following illustration.
