Section 6.3: Mounting the fiberglass spreaders
17. Mount the black fiberglass sweep spreaders (PN 10-1503-21) to the sweep couplers. There
is a concave mounting area on each side of the plastic couplers. Position the fiberglass
spreader so that the holes align with the clam shell couplers as shown in Figure 6.31. When
installing the fiberglass spreader, you will want the spreader to be underneath the plastic
coupler as shown in Figure 6.32. The spreaders will be longer than the couplers on each
side of the loop. This is done on purpose to ensure plenty of fiberglass material is on each
side of the screw.
18. Insert 2qty 6-32 x 2” socket head screw (PN 60-0186) through each of the coupler halves
and the fiberglass rod. This screw must be placed so that the Nylock nut (PN 60-0014) is
resting on the fiberglass material and the screw head are resting inside the concave groove
on the top of the sweep coupler. Refer to Figures 6.31 and 6.32 for detail. The screws are
longer than necessary so that you can get the nut on in the initial stages.
19. Tighten the Nylock nuts firmly. Be sure to use anti-seize on these screws or they will likely
gall and have to be replaced.
20. Repeat the previous steps on the other side of sweep tube.
