| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or U-bolt. | Use a torque wrench to apply the recommended torque specification for the given thread size and material. |
| Using the incorrect U-bolt size for the pipe diameter, leading to loose or damaged fittings. | Always verify the pipe's nominal size and compare it with the U-bolt's inside dimensions (width and length) before installation. |
