Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening U-bolt nutsUse a torque wrench to tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended specification to prevent pipe deformation or thread stripping.
Using the wrong size U-boltVerify the pipe's nominal outside diameter (O.D.) and select a U-bolt with corresponding inside width (A) and length (B) dimensions.

Common Applications

  • Pipe and conduit support in corrosive environments
  • Marine and offshore installations
  • Chemical processing and food/beverage industries
  • Wastewater treatment facilities

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
