Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, potentially cracking the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts until snug and the U-bolt conforms to the pipe and mounting surface, avoiding excessive force.
Using incompatible hardware (e.g., steel nuts/washers in highly corrosive environments without proper isolation).Ensure all hardware is compatible with the operating environment or consider using polycarbonate or other corrosion-resistant washers and nuts.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing Piping Support
  • Water and Wastewater Treatment Systems
  • Marine and Offshore Structures
