The 347IH is the 11 inch post pivot bracket used for push-to-open gate opener geometry on compatible Mighty Mule, GTO, and Linear swing gate operators. In a normal pull-to-open installation, the arm pulls the gate inward to open. In a push-to-open installation, the arm pushes the gate outward or away from the property, which changes the pivot point and bracket requirements. This bracket helps place the opener arm at the correct angle so the actuator can move through its travel without binding or overloading. Customers usually need this part when the gate layout does not allow a standard pull-to-open setup or when an existing push-to-open bracket is bent, missing, or corroded.
Because push-to-open geometry is more sensitive than many standard pull-to-open installations, the bracket must be matched to the opener model and the installation manual. Gate stops, hinge condition, and post offset all matter. This bracket should not be used to force a standard installation into a different geometry without checking the manual.
347IH is commonly associated with these push-to-open applications and related model references when the installation manual calls for this bracket style:

A push-to-open bracket should be selected by gate geometry, not just by model number. The wrong post pivot location can make the arm hit its limit early or pull the gate out of alignment.
Push-to-open bracket errors can create unsafe gate movement or operator overloading. If the geometry is unclear, have a qualified gate technician lay out the bracket position before installing the operator.
Gate opener service can involve stored gate force, moving arms, batteries, and low-voltage control wiring. If the operator is moving unexpectedly, has damaged wiring, or has missing required safety devices, have the system inspected by a qualified gate technician before returning it to service.
It is used as an 11 inch post pivot bracket for select push-to-open swing gate opener installations.
No. It is normally used when the gate must push open. Standard pull-to-open installations use different bracket geometry.
Not directly. HB100 is a standard hardware bracket set, while 347IH is tied to push-to-open post pivot geometry.
The opener arm may bind, run out of travel, strain the gate hinges, or fail to reach proper open and closed positions.
Yes. Proper gate stops and correct bracket geometry help prevent overtravel and reduce stress on the operator.
