| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Over-tightening U-bolt nuts, leading to pipe deformation or thread stripping. | Use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to manufacturer-recommended torque specifications for the chosen nut size and material. |
| Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe, resulting in loose fit or damage. | Always verify the nominal pipe size and confirm that the U-bolt's inside dimensions (width and length) are appropriate for the specific pipe diameter and wall thickness. |
