Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nuts, leading to stress cracking or deformation of the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts gradually and evenly, stopping when the U-bolt is snug and the pipe is securely held. Use a torque wrench if precise values are critical.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Verify the pipe's nominal size and compare it with the U-bolt's inside dimensions to ensure a proper fit.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing plants
  • Wastewater treatment facilities
  • Marine and offshore environments
  • Food and beverage production

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to extreme temperatures outside the specified operating range of polycarbonate (typically -40°F to 250°F / -40°C to 121°C).
  • Avoid contact with strong solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade polycarbonate.
