| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Overtightening the U-bolt | Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly. Over-tightening can stress the polycarbonate and potentially lead to cracking or deformation. |
| Improperly aligning the U-bolt | Ensure the U-bolt legs are parallel and the pipe is centered within the curve for uniform pressure distribution. |
