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 select a U-bolt with appropriate inside dimensions (width and length) for a snug fit.
Over-tightening the nuts, potentially deforming the pipe or the U-bolt.Tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification or until snug and secure, avoiding excessive force.

Common Applications
