ANSWER: We have provided our customers with detailed assembly drawings so that you can see the various advance system styles. Use the link below to go to the distributor series assembly drawings.

On the earlier "YL" series you will see a "Y-Clip" and a mounting screw that holds it in place. The "YT" or "YH" designs do NOT have this clip.
