Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts until snug, then an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Avoid excessive force.
Using incompatible hardware that can damage the polycarbonate threads.Always use hardware with the specified 1/2"-13 thread size and ensure it is clean and free of burrs.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing plant piping
  • Marine and offshore installations
  • Water treatment facilities
  • Outdoor conduit and pipe support

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications where high tensile strength is paramount.
  • Avoid exposure to solvents or chemicals not listed as compatible with polycarbonate.
