Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening nuts, which can crack the nylon material.Tighten nuts until the pipe is securely held, but do not force them beyond that point. Use a torque wrench if precise tension is critical.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size and the U-bolt's inside dimensions (width and length) to ensure a proper fit.

Common Applications
