Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can lead to stress cracking of the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts until snug, then apply an additional quarter to half turn. Avoid excessive force; use a torque wrench if specified for the application.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size and ensure the U-bolt's inside dimensions are appropriate for a secure fit without excessive compression.
