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 and consult product specifications to ensure a correct fit.
Overtightening the nuts, leading to pipe deformation or U-bolt damage.Tighten nuts gradually and evenly. If torque specifications are available, use a calibrated torque wrench.
Using a steel U-bolt in a corrosive environment where brass is specified.Select materials appropriate for the operating environment to prevent premature failure due to corrosion.
