Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-Bolt around the 2" pipe, ensuring it is centered and aligned with the mounting surface. 2. Thread the provided nuts (or suitable matching nuts) onto the U-Bolt legs. 3. Tighten nuts incrementally and alternately to achieve even pressure and secure the pipe firmly without over-tightening, which could deform the pipe or U-Bolt.

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 select a U-Bolt with the corresponding Inside Width (A) specification.
Over-tightening the nuts, leading to pipe deformation or U-Bolt damage.Tighten nuts evenly and to a snug fit. Torque specifications should be referenced based on the application and materials involved to avoid damage.
