Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring it is centered and aligned with the mounting surface. 2. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs until snug against the mounting surface. 3. Tighten the nuts evenly in an alternating pattern to achieve the required clamping force, avoiding over-tightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using an incorrect size U-bolt that is too small or too large for the pipe.Always verify the nominal pipe diameter and select a U-bolt with the appropriate inside dimensions (width and length) to ensure a secure and stable fit.
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the polycarbonate or damage the mounting surface.Tighten nuts gradually and evenly. Consult torque specifications if available, or tighten until firm with a slight resistance to prevent deformation.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing plants
  • Wastewater treatment facilities
  • Marine and offshore installations
  • Food and beverage industry

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure the mounting surface can adequately support the load of the pipe and its contents.
  • Do not exceed the maximum load capacity specified by the manufacturer for this U-bolt.
