Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the U-bolt, which can deform the polycarbonate and compromise its structural integrity.Tighten nuts until snug, then add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Avoid excessive force. Use a torque wrench if precise torque values are critical for the application.
Using standard steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion when in contact with metallic mounting hardware.Always use compatible fasteners made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials to maintain the integrity of the polycarbonate U-bolt system.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing plants
  • Water and wastewater treatment facilities
  • Marine and offshore installations
  • Food and beverage processing
  • Electrical conduit support

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications where high tensile strength is required.
  • Avoid exposure to abrasive materials or sharp objects that could scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.
