Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or the U-bolt.Tighten nuts incrementally, alternating between sides, and use a torque wrench if specified for the application to avoid over-stressing components.
Using the wrong size U-bolt, leading to a loose or insecure fit.Always verify the nominal pipe size and compare it to the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) before installation.

Common Applications

  • Securing and supporting rigid conduit
  • Anchoring and bracing of piping systems
  • Mounting of electrical and mechanical equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure all threads are clean and free of debris before assembly.
  • Always use the correct size and type of nuts and washers for secure fastening.
