38 PNEG-1295 16" - 36" Platform
9. 6 X 6 DISTRIBUTOR PLATFORM
Platform Clamps
This assembly is designed to be located at any elevation on trunking that’s needed to provide
access to other equipment. Determine elevation of platform surface and work from there. Locate
all parts required for assembly by using the charts shown in the following figures.
Locate all clamp halves, clamp brackets, threaded rods, and hardware to assemble clamps onto
the trunking. Measure the distance between the clamps to assure proper location for support
channels and knee brace attachment. See clamp detail for hardware orientation. Place 5/8" nuts
and lock washers on a threaded rod (one from each end). Place a clamp half on each end of the
rod and thread another nut and lock washer to hold clamp in place. Now place that assembly
around trunk and place a clamp bracket onto the opposite end of the clamp assembly and use
1/2" hardware to fasten parts together. Adjust the position of the inside nuts of the rod assembly
to allow the clamps to be tightened onto the trunking.
Note: Tighten clamps onto trunking, do not overtighten and collapse the trunking.
Position inside nuts back to the clamp and tighten.
