Mighty Mule FM352 Parts - 347IH Bracket / 11 inch Post Pivot - Push-To-Open
The 347IH bracket is an 11 inch post pivot bracket used for push-to-open swing gate installations on select Mighty Mule, GTO, and Linear gate operators. In a standard pull-to-open setup, the actuator pulls the gate inward toward the property. A push-to-open application changes the mounting geometry so the operator pushes the gate open away from the property, and that requires the correct post pivot bracket. This part is especially important because push-to-open installations put the actuator at a different angle than a standard inward-swing setup. Using the wrong bracket can reduce travel, cause binding, limit the opening angle, or put side stress on the arm. On the FM352 parts page, this bracket is most often needed when replacing a damaged push-to-open bracket or when restoring the correct geometry on an existing push-to-open installation.
Compatible With
Primary use
- Push-to-open conversion or replacement bracket applications where the gate opens away from the property instead of pulling inward
- Mighty Mule FM352 parts-page applications when the 11 inch post pivot bracket is required
Common GTO / Linear applications
- GTO / Linear PRO SW3000 and SW3200
- GTO / Linear PRO 2500 and 2550
- GTO / Linear PRO 1500
- GTO / Linear PRO SW2000XLS and SW2002XLS where the parts diagram calls for 347IH style push-to-open bracket hardware

Technician Note
Push-to-open geometry must be set up carefully. If the actuator is mounted at the wrong angle, the gate may not reach full travel or the arm may bind before the limit is reached.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the gate opens outward and actually requires push-to-open hardware.
- Confirm the operator model supports push-to-open setup.
- Compare the existing bracket length and pivot style.
- Order the correct quantity for single or dual gate applications.
- Check gate stops and hinge swing before installing the bracket.
Important Ordering Warnings
- This is a push-to-open bracket, not a standard front mount.
- Push-to-open setup can require control-board setting changes and correct physical stops depending on the operator.
Professional Advisory
For conversion work or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate technician. Do not modify brackets or force the arm geometry to make an incompatible installation work.
Product Questions and Answers
What is the 347IH bracket used for?
The 347IH is used as an 11 inch post pivot bracket for push-to-open swing gate applications on select Mighty Mule, GTO, and Linear operators.
Is this needed for every FM352 installation?
No. Standard pull-to-open installations do not normally use a push-to-open bracket. It is used when the gate opens outward or when the original parts diagram calls for it.
How many 347IH brackets are needed for a dual gate?
A dual push-to-open gate generally needs the correct bracket setup on each actuator arm. Confirm the parts diagram and order the correct quantity for both leaves.
Can this bracket convert any swing gate opener to push-to-open?
No. The operator model, control settings, gate geometry, and mounting clearances must all support a push-to-open installation.
What should be checked before replacing this bracket?
Check post strength, hinge condition, gate swing clearance, open and close stops, and the original bracket dimensions before ordering.
