Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening of nutsTighten nuts until snug, then an additional quarter turn. Avoid excessive force that could deform or crack the polycarbonate.
Using incompatible support hardwareEnsure any associated clamps or brackets are made of materials that will not corrode or react with polycarbonate in the intended environment.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing piping
  • Marine environments
  • Wastewater treatment facilities
  • Food and beverage processing
  • Electrical conduit support

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not rated for structural load-bearing applications where metal fatigue is a concern.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specified as UV-stabilized; consult datasheet for specific environmental limitations.
