| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using the wrong U-bolt size for the pipe diameter. | Always verify the U-bolt's inside dimensions against the pipe's outside diameter and the nominal pipe size specification. |
| Not using corrosion-resistant fasteners in corrosive environments. | Ensure all components, including nuts and washers, are also made of 316 stainless steel when used in marine or chemical applications. |
