Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size against the U-bolt's inside width (A) to ensure a proper fit without excessive play or binding.
Over-tightening the nuts, leading to deformation of the pipe or support.Tighten nuts progressively and evenly. Torque specifications should be consulted if available for the specific application.
Failing to use washers, which can lead to uneven pressure distribution.Always use appropriate flat washers under the nuts to distribute the clamping force evenly across the support surface.
