Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size against the U-bolt's internal dimensions (A and B) before installation.
Over-tightening the nuts, leading to material deformation or damage.Tighten nuts gradually and evenly. Use a torque wrench if specific clamping forces are required and consult material compatibility charts.

Common Applications
