If the pole were a clock, where should the WPFR device hardware be placed?

• A. 12 and 6
• B. 1 and 11
• C. 3 and 9
• D. 4 and 8

Answer: (C)

The key idea is balancing around a round pole by mounting the two hardware pieces directly opposite each other. Placing them on opposite sides (left and right) keeps the loads and wind forces evenly distributed, which helps reduce wobble and wear. It also keeps cables tidy and easy to route on both faces, and makes maintenance straightforward since each unit sits at the same height and orientation.

Other placements don’t provide that same balance. Top and bottom alignment concentrates load along a vertical line and can increase torque from wind, plus it can complicate cable routing or access. Diagonal pairings aren’t perfectly opposite, so they introduce uneven loading and less predictable spacing, which can affect stability and alignment.
