Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening, which can stress the polycarbonate material.Tighten nuts until snug, then apply an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Avoid excessive force.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe.Verify the nominal pipe size and compare it to the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) to ensure a proper fit.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing plants
  • Wastewater treatment facilities
  • Offshore oil and gas platforms
  • Electrical conduit support
  • Marine applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of nuts and washers with polycarbonate material to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the U-bolt.
