Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening nuts, which can deform or crack the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts until snug, then apply an additional quarter-turn. Use a torque wrench if precise torque is critical.
Using metal washers directly against the polycarbonate, which can cause localized stress.Utilize plastic or nylon washers between the metal nut and the polycarbonate U-bolt to distribute load.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Maximum operating temperature is 250°F (121°C).
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong oxidizing agents or solvents not specified for polycarbonate compatibility.
