| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter. | Always verify the pipe's nominal diameter and compare it to the U-bolt's inside width (A) and length (B) specifications to ensure a proper fit. |
| Over-tightening the nuts, which can distort the pipe or damage the threads. | Tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification or until a secure hold is achieved, ensuring even pressure on both legs. |
| Using standard steel U-bolts in corrosive environments. | Select 304 stainless steel or a higher-grade alloy for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater to prevent premature corrosion and failure. |
