| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using the wrong U-bolt size for the pipe diameter. | Always verify the pipe's nominal diameter and select a U-bolt with compatible inside dimensions for proper fit and load distribution. |
| Insufficient tightening of nuts, leading to pipe movement. | Tighten nuts to the recommended torque specification, ensuring even pressure distribution to prevent vibration and slippage. |
| Using standard carbon steel hardware in corrosive environments. | Always use 316 stainless steel nuts and washers with 316 stainless steel U-bolts to maintain corrosion resistance and prevent galvanic corrosion. |
