Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening U-Bolt nuts, causing stress fractures in the nylon.Tighten nuts evenly in stages, stopping when snug and the pipe is firmly secured. Use a torque wrench if precise specifications are available.
Selecting a U-Bolt with incorrect dimensions for the pipe or mounting.Verify the nominal pipe size and measure the actual pipe OD to ensure compatibility with the U-Bolt's inside width and length. Consult engineering drawings for precise requirements.
