| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using a U-bolt with insufficient inside width for the specified pipe diameter. | Always verify the U-bolt's inside width (A) is at least 0.25" larger than the outer diameter of the pipe being secured to allow for insulation or expansion. |
| Overtightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or damage the threads. | Refer to torque charts for the specific thread size and material, and use a calibrated torque wrench for accurate tightening. |
