| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter. | Always verify the pipe's nominal and actual outer diameter against the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A) to ensure a proper fit. |
| Improperly tightening the nuts, leading to deformation or insufficient clamping force. | Tighten nuts alternately and incrementally to achieve uniform pressure and avoid deforming the pipe or the U-bolt. |
