Hangers (Stand-Offs)

The RetroLink is attached with on of two types of stand-off: weld-on or grinnell clamp. The first is used where surface welding is permitted, usually on a vertical member. The second is used primarily on a horizontal member. The Grinnell-style clamp is equipped with anti-corrosion I-Clips to ensure no corrosion results from the attachment of the RetroLink.
