| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Overtightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or the U-bolt. | Use a torque wrench to tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended specification for the pipe size and application. |
| Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter, leading to a loose or damaged fitting. | Always verify the pipe's nominal and actual outer diameter against the U-bolt's inside dimensions before installation. |
