| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Overtightening the U-bolt, which can deform the pipe or damage the threads. | Utilize a torque wrench to achieve the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for secure fastening without over-stressing components. |
| Using a U-bolt with incorrect dimensions, leading to an insecure or damaging fit. | Verify pipe size and required clearance against the U-bolt's internal dimensions (A and B) before installation. |
