Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Verify pipe nominal diameter and select the corresponding U-bolt size. This 4" U-bolt is designed for 4" nominal pipes.
Over-tightening the nuts, potentially damaging the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts until secure and the pipe is firmly held. Use a torque wrench if precise tension is critical, adhering to manufacturer recommendations for polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing Piping
  • Wastewater Treatment Systems
  • Marine and Offshore Installations

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of polycarbonate with specific chemical media if used in aggressive environments.
  • Avoid exposing to open flames or excessive heat sources which can compromise material integrity.
