Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe's nominal diameter.Always confirm the inside width (A) of the U-bolt is appropriate for the outer diameter of the pipe being secured. For 2" nominal pipe, an inside width of approximately 1.31" is standard.
Over-tightening or uneven tightening of nuts.Apply even pressure to both nuts and torque to the specified value to avoid deforming the pipe or mounting surface and ensure a secure, consistent hold.

Common Applications

  • Marine and offshore installations
  • Chemical processing plants
  • Water and wastewater treatment facilities
  • Plumbing and pipe support systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper torque is applied to prevent over-stressing components or inadequate support.
  • Verify compatibility of mounting hardware (nuts, washers) with the 316 stainless steel U-bolt to prevent galvanic corrosion.
