Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the U-bolt, which can stress the polycarbonate material.Tighten nuts until snug, then an additional quarter to half turn. Avoid excessive force. Torque specifications for polycarbonate should be consulted if available.
Using the U-bolt for applications exceeding its rated load capacity.Always verify the maximum load capacity of the U-bolt against the weight and dynamic forces of the pipe system. Consult engineering documentation for specific load ratings.

Common Applications
