| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Over-tightening the U-bolt, which can deform the pipe or the bolt threads. | Utilize a torque wrench to apply the manufacturer's recommended torque for the 1/2"-13 thread size and the specific pipe material. |
| Using a U-bolt with insufficient thread length or diameter for the anticipated load. | Verify that the U-bolt's thread size and overall dimensions are appropriate for the pipe's diameter and the operational stress it will endure. |
