⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: TUBE SIZES ARE NOT IDENTICAL!
Even though they look the same, there is a 10mm (1cm) difference for the outer pipes.
P3 is the shorter one (2420mm) vs 2430mm. Do not mix them up!

1. Project Analysis: Gionfriddo Review
What Went Wrong
Critical Issues Identified:
- Material Shortages: Extra straps were required mid-project.
- Product Defects: "Unsatisfactory product" reports citing faulty brackets, inconsistent spacing, and "ideal corner" mismatches.
- Manufacturing Flaws: Warping in long line welds (Part B) and welding contamination in adjacent holes.
- Manual Gaps: Confusion regarding installation steps, necessitating multiple manual revisions and clarifications.
Corrections for P7 & Manufacturing
Implemented Solutions:
- P7 & P6 Cap Plates: Now require FSBW (Full Strength Butt Welded) - full penetration weld all around.
- Tube Compatibility: P7 and P6 steel tubes must be verified to fit inside Part C tubes before shipping.
- Welding Scope: Confirmed welding for all drawings P1-P7; steel tube attached to Part C.
- Part D: Identified as a universal spacer (no welding required).
Manual Updates Required
- Step 0 Clarity: Emphasize "Familiarize with C3920" and the 3D model before starting.
- Visual Aids: Use AR overlay (Sketchfab) for quick visual set-out and "Step 0" familiarization.
- Anchor Specifics: Explicit instructions for double-stacked storm anchors at max 60 degrees.

Manufacturing Specifications
- Process: CNC Cutting -> Welding (FSBW for caps) -> Hot Dipped Galvanization -> Painting (P1-P7).
- Tolerance: Slots designed to facilitate precise alignment during welding.
- Verification: P1/P6 tube fitment into Part C must be physically tested.
3. Installation Guide
Prerequisites & Site Requirements
- Termite Protection: Structure must be minimum 400mm off the ground on Mega Anchors.
- Tools: Supports (min 130mm high), Digging tools, Mobile device (Apple Pro preferred for AR).
- Safety: Storm cable angles must not exceed 60 degrees.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preparation: Lay out all frames matching the 3D Model above. Read all annotations.
- Spacers: Insert D plates (spacers) and use additional bolt holes to clamp plates together before positioning.
- Anchor Set-out: Use the AR overlay for a quick visual guide, then verify exact positions with the Engineering Drawings (C3920).
- Anchor Installation:
- Install double-stacked anchors for storm cables.
- Dig in up to the eyelets.
- Ensure angle is 60 degrees max from attachment location.
- Frame Assembly: Assemble plates B1, B2, B3, C, and D as per Page 5 of the manual.
- Final Check: Verify measurements against Page 7 and 8 of the manual.
Important Note on Measurements: The interactive measurement tool is no longer active. Please refer strictly to the dimensions provided in the PDF manuals and engineering drawings below.
Troubleshooting: If holes don't align, check for welding contamination or warping. Use supports to level frames during assembly.
