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 matches the U-bolt's designed capacity to ensure a secure and proper fit.
Over-tightening the nuts, causing pipe deformation or stress.Tighten nuts evenly and progressively until snug. Avoid excessive force that could damage the pipe or mounting surface.
Using the U-bolt in an environment exceeding its material's chemical resistance.Confirm the brass material's compatibility with all chemicals present in the operating environment to prevent premature degradation.
