Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring it rests securely in the saddle. 2. Thread the accompanying nuts onto the U-bolt legs, engaging them with the mounting surface or bracket. 3. Tighten the nuts evenly and progressively to achieve the desired clamping force, avoiding over-tightening which could damage the nylon.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during tightening, potentially cracking the nylon.Tighten nuts evenly and progressively, using a torque wrench if precise control is required, and observe the material's yield point.
Selecting the wrong U-bolt size for the pipe diameter.Always verify that the 'Inside Width (A)' and 'Inside Length (B)' dimensions are appropriate for the outer diameter of the pipe being secured.
