Mighty Mule FM350 Parts - 347IH Bracket / 11 inch Post Pivot - Push-To-Open
The 347IH is an 11 inch post pivot bracket used for push-to-open swing gate opener installations. Push-to-open means the operator pushes the gate away from the property to open rather than pulling it inward. That layout requires different mounting geometry, and this bracket helps position the rear pivot point correctly on supported Mighty Mule, GTO and Linear PRO style arms.
This bracket is commonly associated with FM350 parts listings and several GTO/Linear swing operator families. It is often purchased when the original push-to-open bracket is missing, damaged, rusted, or when an operator is being reinstalled on a gate that swings outward. Because the pivot location directly affects arm leverage and travel, the bracket must match the operator manual and the gate installation type.
Do not use a push-to-open bracket as a general repair for a binding arm or incorrect installation. The gate must be level, swing freely and have proper stops. Incorrect bracket placement can cause short travel, arm binding, nuisance obstruction events, bent brackets or damage to the operator.

Technician Note
Push-to-open applications require careful bracket placement and gate stop setup. If the arm is binding near the closed or open position, do not force it; review the geometry before operating the gate.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the gate is a push-to-open installation.
- Verify the operator model and manual call for the 347IH or matching bracket.
- Compare the old bracket length and pivot style.
- Check hinge offset, post condition and gate stops.
- Do not use this bracket to convert an unsupported operator.
Important Ordering Warnings
FM148 and 347IH may appear together in some search results. Treat related numbers carefully and confirm the exact part required for the operator model.
Professional Advisory
Changing swing direction or bracket geometry can affect operator force and safety. A qualified gate technician should handle uncertain conversions or unsafe gate movement.
Product Questions & Answers
What is the 347IH bracket used for?
The 347IH is an 11 inch post pivot bracket used for select push-to-open swing gate operator installations.
Is 347IH only for the FM350?
It is commonly listed with FM350 parts, but it may also be associated with select Mighty Mule and GTO/Linear swing operator families where the manual calls for it.
Is this the same as a pull-to-open bracket?
No. Push-to-open brackets use different geometry because the operator pushes the gate open instead of pulling it open.
Can I use this to convert any gate opener to push-to-open?
No. The operator must support push-to-open operation and the manual must allow this bracket and geometry.
Why does the bracket length matter?
The bracket length and pivot location affect arm leverage, gate angle and clearance. Wrong geometry can cause binding or damage.
