| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using a lower grade of stainless steel in corrosive environments. | Always specify 316 stainless steel for marine, chemical, or high-salinity applications to ensure long-term corrosion resistance. |
| Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or U-bolt. | Use a torque wrench to tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended specification for the pipe size and material. |
