Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always confirm the nominal pipe size and measure the U-bolt's internal dimensions (Width A and Length B) to ensure a proper fit.
Overtightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or U-bolt.Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly. Use a torque wrench if precise clamping force is critical for the application.
