Measure the exact outer dimension perimeter of the equipment discharge throat frame.

This prevents it from stretching tight and failing early under mechanical load shifts.

Ask Foreman
Hey boss, I’m on field math & measuring and need verification before I touch this: How do I measure a canvas connector so the equipment has room to vibrate without pulling? Do you want me to stop here and check the approved detail, submittal, or inspector/manufacturer requirement first?
