How should rigid couplings be installed?
The clamping screws are arranged in pairs. Climax recommends that Climax Premium Clamping Couplings be installed by tightening the paired screws alternately, in several steps so that the tension is distributed evenly. As each screw is tensioned, it tends to relax any tension developed by its companion screw. Hence, tightening one screw completely before tightening the other could lead to an unequal distribution of tension. When disassembly tension should be relieved in a similar manner.
