Installation of the rail without a clasp
• Cut the tension strap to length (pipe circumference + at least 120 mm).
• Insert approx. 100 mm of the tension strap into one of the slots of the tension strap clamp and bend it (see Fig. 6.42).
• If necessary, insert the long end of the tension strap into the metal spring (see Fig. 6.43). It is not necessary to mount the
metal spring:
– on steel pipes
– on pipes with an outer pipe diameter < 80 mm or
– on pipes that are not subjected to significant temperature fluctuations
• Place the tension strap around the pipe (see Fig. 6.44).
• Position the metal spring (if mounted) and the tension strap clamp (see Fig. 6.44):
– On a horizontal pipe, mount the tension strap clamp on the side of the pipe, if possible.
– Mount the metal spring (if necessary) on the opposite side of the tension strap clamp.

edge.
