Repeat steps 2 through 5 using the rod couplings furnished at all rod intersections. If a rod intersection occurs at a clamp location, field cut the rod so that the clamp location is avoided. Rods should not cantilever past the last clamp at the end of an assembly by more than 4". Rods can be cut with an ordinary hack saw, or a reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade. Deburring the cut end with a metal file may facilitate installation.
