Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening without a torque wrench, potentially deforming the pipe or bolt.Utilize a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to manufacturer-recommended torque values for the specific pipe and U-bolt size.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter, leading to a loose or damaged installation.Verify that the U-bolt's inside width (A) and length (B) are appropriate for the specific 1" nominal pipe size and any insulation being used.
