| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Overtightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or strip the threads. | Tighten nuts to the recommended torque specification for the thread size and material, using a torque wrench. |
| Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe or mounting surface. | Always verify the Inside Width (A) and Inside Length (B) measurements against the actual pipe diameter and the thickness of the mounting structure. |
