Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or stress the mounting surface.Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly until the pipe is held firmly, but avoid excessive force.
Using the wrong size U-bolt, leading to a loose or overly compressed fit.Verify the pipe's nominal size and the U-bolt's inside dimensions before installation.

Common Applications
