Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the U-bolt, potentially deforming the nylon or crushing the pipe.Tighten nuts until snug, then apply an additional quarter turn. Avoid excessive force. Use a torque wrench if precise tension is critical.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the pipe's nominal size and compare it to the U-bolt's inside dimensions (Width 'A' and Length 'B') before installation.
