Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong U-bolt size for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size against the U-bolt's inside width (A) and length (B) specifications to ensure proper fit and support.
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or mounting surface.Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly. Use a torque wrench if critical to avoid over-stressing components.
Using standard carbon steel hardware with a 316 stainless steel U-bolt in corrosive environments.Always use compatible 316 stainless steel nuts and washers to maintain the overall corrosion resistance of the assembly.

Common Applications
