Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening U-bolt nuts, which can stress the polycarbonate material.Tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications or until snug and secure, avoiding excessive force.
Using incorrect thread size nuts, compromising the connection strength.Verify that the nuts used are 1/2"-13 UNC to match the U-bolt's thread specification.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing plants
  • Wastewater treatment facilities
  • Marine and offshore platforms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for high-temperature applications exceeding 150°F (65°C).
