Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Selecting an incorrect pipe size U-bolt, leading to loose or damaged pipe.Always verify the nominal pipe size and measure the actual outer diameter to select the appropriately sized U-bolt.
Overtightening or undertightening nuts, compromising structural integrity or causing pipe deformation.Utilize a torque wrench to tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for the thread size and material.

Common Applications
