Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" nominal pipe, ensuring the pipe is centered within the U-bolt's curve. 2. Align the threaded legs of the U-bolt with the mounting surface or bracket and thread the nuts onto both ends. 3. Tighten the nuts evenly and progressively, alternating between each side, until a secure and snug fit is achieved. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the nylon.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nuts, which can deform or crack the nylon U-bolt.Tighten nuts evenly and progressively, stopping when the pipe is firmly secured and does not move. Use a torque wrench if available, adhering to manufacturer recommendations for nylon fasteners.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the intended pipe diameter.Always confirm the nominal pipe size and verify the U-bolt's inside width (A) and inside length (B) dimensions against the pipe and mounting requirements.
