Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper fastener selection leading to weak structural integrity.Utilize fasteners with a shear and tensile strength rating appropriate for the load requirements of the application.
Failure to account for thermal expansion in enclosed applications.Incorporate expansion joints or slotted mounting holes where significant temperature fluctuations are anticipated to prevent buckling or stress.
