Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nylon nuts.Use a torque wrench to tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for nylon fasteners, or tighten until snug and then an additional 1/4 turn.
Selecting the wrong U-bolt size for the pipe's outside diameter.Always verify the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) against the actual outside diameter of the pipe to ensure a proper fit.
