| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Overtightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or U-bolt. | Use a torque wrench to apply the manufacturer-recommended torque value, or tighten until firm and secure without excessive force. |
| Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter, leading to a loose or damaged installation. | Verify the nominal pipe size and corresponding U-bolt dimensions to ensure a proper fit before installation. |
