Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the nylon or damage the pipe.Use a torque wrench to apply the manufacturer-recommended torque or tighten until snug and then an additional quarter turn.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the pipe's nominal size and the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) before installation.

Common Applications
