Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or oversized U-bolts for the specified pipe diameter.Always verify the Inside Width (A) dimension against the actual outer diameter of the pipe to ensure a snug and secure fit.
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or damage the U-bolt threads.Tighten nuts gradually and evenly. If a torque specification is required, consult relevant industry standards or engineering drawings.

Common Applications
