Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring it straddles the supporting structure. 2. Thread the provided nuts onto the U-bolt legs, hand-tightening initially. 3. Using appropriate wrenches, tighten the nuts incrementally and evenly until the pipe is securely fastened, avoiding over-tightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size and corresponding U-bolt dimensions (inside width and length) to ensure a proper fit.
Over-tightening U-bolt nuts, which can deform the pipe or damage the threads.Tighten nuts gradually and evenly. Consult torque specifications for critical applications if available.
Using a lower grade of stainless steel in corrosive environments.Select 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to saltwater, chemicals, or high humidity to prevent premature corrosion.

Common Applications
