Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size against the U-bolt's inside dimensions to ensure a proper fit and adequate support.
Overtightening the nuts, leading to pipe deformation or damage.Tighten nuts progressively and evenly. Consult torque specifications if available for the specific application to prevent overstressing the pipe or fitting.
