- More robust and stronger than a 9 inch chimney bracket - hassle free and safe once correclty installed
- Unlike TK brackets it does not require a drill

- Limited offset means that it struggles to pass reveal on some chimneys (use TK brackets in such cases)
- More expensive to install than a 9 inch chimney bracket
- Requires special tools i.e. roof ladder etc to mount bracket on a chimney
- Roof work is by its nature far more dangerous than working off standard ladder
- Not sufficiently robust to mount a satellite dish (though some installers do)
- More expensive than a satellite dish bracket
- Not suitable for very heavy loads or long poles - which might require:
- Double lashings kits
- T&K brackets
Tools needed
- A ladder
- Roof ladder
- Ratchet & 15mm long neck socket
- Snips
- Vice grips
- Safety equipment (harness, safety mat etc)

Steps to Install

- Open the lashing kit bag and wrap the end of the wire coil 4 times around the loop on the "J"-bolt
- Slot the threaded end of the "J"-bolt into the hole in the chimney cradle
- Wrap the wire coil around the chimney keep as straight as possible
- Wrap the wire coil 4 times around the loop on the other "J"-bolt
- Making sure it is just long enough to slot into the other side of the chimney bracket
- Cut off excess wire coil
- Put angle brackets under the wire coil at the other 3 corners of the chimney
