Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the U-bolt, potentially deforming the polycarbonate or damaging the pipe.Use a torque wrench to adhere to recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate fasteners to prevent overstressing the material.
Using the wrong size U-bolt, leading to a loose or excessively tight fit.Verify the pipe's nominal size and measure the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) to ensure compatibility before installation.

Common Applications

  • Corrosive fluid piping systems
  • Electrical conduit support
  • Marine and offshore installations

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not exceed the maximum load rating for this U-bolt.
  • Ensure compatibility of mating hardware (nuts, washers) with polycarbonate to prevent galvanic corrosion.
