Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a U-bolt with incorrect internal dimensions for the pipe size.Always verify the Inside Width (A) and Inside Length (B) against the nominal pipe outer diameter to ensure a proper fit.
Over-tightening the U-bolt, which can deform the pipe or the U-bolt itself.Tighten nuts evenly and to the recommended torque specification to avoid over-stressing the components.
Not using washers, leading to uneven pressure distribution and potential damage.Always use appropriate flat or saddle washers between the nuts and the mounting surface.

Common Applications
