Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 4" pipe, ensuring proper alignment with mounting surfaces. 2. Insert the threaded legs through the designated mounting holes or brackets. 3. Securely fasten the U-bolt using appropriate 1/2"-13 nuts and washers (sold separately), tightening evenly on both sides to achieve the desired clamping force without over-stressing the polycarbonate. 4. Verify that the pipe is securely supported and the U-bolt is not experiencing excessive deflection.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the U-bolt, leading to stress cracking of the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts until snug, then apply an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Use a torque wrench if precise torque values are critical for the application.
Using metal washers directly against the polycarbonate without a cushioning layer, potentially causing localized pressure points.Utilize rubber or neoprene washers between the polycarbonate and metal washers to distribute load and prevent surface damage.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for use in environments with extreme temperatures exceeding manufacturer's specifications or prolonged exposure to harsh solvents not listed in chemical resistance data.
  • Ensure compatibility with all materials in direct contact to avoid chemical degradation or adhesion issues.
