Select a clear area to suit the full length of the bracing being assembled. Screw on the Bracelok™ Fitting 'A' (with thread) at one end of the bar.

Position the end of the bar in the middle of the fittings adjustment window to allow adjustment of overall bracing length in both directions.
     
 
Slide on the Bracelok™ Fitting 'B' (without thread) at the other end of the bar. Position the end of the bar in the middle of the window of the fitting.
     
 
Place the Bracelok™ Holding Collar 'C' inside the window of the Bracelok™ Fitting 'B', align the two flat surfaces inside the collar with the flat sides on the bar, and slide the collar onto the bar.
     
 
Place the Bracelok™ Locking Nut 'D' inside the window of the Bracelok™ Fitting 'B' and screw it onto the bar.
     

Align the tabs on the Bracelok™ Holding Collar 'C' with the slots in the Bracelok™ Locking Nut 'D' and engage the two components. The assembled bracing unit is now ready for lifting and bolting into place.

Turn the bar with a shifting spanner gripping the flat surfaces of the bar to reduce the sag in the overall bracing to less A/100 as shown below.

  

Notes:
1) Ensure any burrs are removed when the bar is cut to allow the bar to run freely through the threaded components.
2) If a coupler is used to join the bar, ensure the bar is always turned clockwise into the coupler during both assembly and adjustment of the bracing unit to length.
3) The overall length of the bracing unit can be adjusted by altering the position of the holding collar and locking nut on the bar. Always ensure however that the bar protrudes beyond the locking nut threaded end of the BraceLok™ fitting.
