Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can stress the polycarbonate material.Use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to the specified torque limits for polycarbonate U-bolts.
Using metal washers directly against the polycarbonate, which can cause localized stress concentration.Utilize plastic or composite washers between the metal nut and the polycarbonate U-bolt to distribute load evenly.

Common Applications
