Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring it straddles the supporting structure. 2. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs, snugging them evenly against the support. 3. Tighten nuts incrementally in an alternating pattern to achieve uniform pressure and secure the pipe without over-compression.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening nuts, which can deform the polycarbonate or damage the pipe.Tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for polycarbonate, or until snug and the pipe is securely held without visible deformation.
Using incorrect thread size nuts, leading to a loose or insecure connection.Ensure the nuts used are 1/2"-13 UNC to match the U-bolt's thread size for a proper fit.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing plants
  • Water and wastewater treatment
  • Electrical conduit support

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of mating hardware (nuts, washers) with polycarbonate material to avoid stress cracking.
  • Do not exceed the maximum load capacity specified by the manufacturer for this U-bolt.
