Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nuts, potentially deforming the pipe or stripping the threads.Apply a consistent and appropriate torque using a calibrated torque wrench, following manufacturer recommendations for the specific pipe material and application.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter, leading to an insecure fit or damage.Verify the pipe's outer diameter and select a U-bolt with the correct inside width (A) to ensure a snug and secure fit.

Common Applications

  • Pipe and conduit support in corrosive environments
