Do you put singles at each end of a transom opposite ways or both the same way
Please explain this bit!!We used to put them opposite years ago.
Used to put two transoms tight against the window reveal, fix the clip to the transoms on inside ledger then push the other end of the transoms opposite ways as hard as you could. The thing would never fall over.
Another trick was put a transom a bit up the face of the building and put a clip on the outside ledger before pulling the inside down. Solid as and good for another 5 lifts.

The fittings would be used as per the manufacturers instructions. Ive never seen any info or specs that say the bolts should be fixed a certain way. But scaffolders pick things up from other scaffolders , some say it pulls the transom a certain direction when tightened.but the bottom line is that it really doesn't matter the strength remains the same regardless of the direction unless the manufacturers specs says otherwise
