board be sure to inspect the brackets to orientate the holes so the attachment hardware does not
collide. NOTE: The fastener holes are offset on each bracket.
Use and Care: This hardware may not be suitable for every situation or installation application. A
design professional should be consulted to ensure the specic installation application meets local
building code requirements.
If hardware becomes dirty clean with soap and water. Avoid abrasions to surface and touch up any
