Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the U-bolt, which can deform the pipe or fracture the bolt.Always adhere to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for the thread size and material.
Using the incorrect U-bolt size for the pipe diameter, leading to a loose or damaged connection.Verify the U-bolt's inside dimensions (width and length) against the pipe's outer diameter and wall thickness.
