There is one pinhole on each end of the sway brace, with pin for hanging chains, connecting sway brace and truss by pin. There is a connecting clamp in the middle of sway brace, so as to bend the sway brace for convenience of transport. There is also turn buckle on the sway brace for adjusting the length of brace. In the turn buckle, there is length indicator collet, turning the buckle to brace end in touching with length indicator collet means the brace is in proper length. One end of the turnbuckle, there is locknut, preventing brace from releasing.

Two sway braces are set to the cross of two trusses, assuming the lateral wind-force to the bridge vertically. While installing brace, keep in proper length, tighten the nut, so as to keep the bridge straight and assume wind-force effectively.
