Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the pipe's nominal and actual outer diameter and select a U-bolt with the appropriate Inside Width (A) and Inside Length (B) to ensure a snug and secure fit.
Over-tightening the nuts, leading to thread stripping or component deformation.Refer to fastener torque charts for 1/2"-13 UNC fasteners and tighten to the specified torque range. Use a torque wrench for accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Pipe support in corrosive environments
