Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the pipe's nominal size and the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) to ensure a proper fit.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to material deformation or thread damage.Consult application-specific torque specifications or use a torque wrench to achieve proper tension without overtightening.
