Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel U-bolts in corrosive environments.Always specify Titanium Grade 5 or other corrosion-resistant alloys for applications exposed to saltwater, chemicals, or high humidity to prevent premature failure.
Incorrectly sizing the U-bolt for the pipe.Verify the nominal pipe size and measure the actual OD of the pipe to ensure the U-bolt's inside width and length are appropriate for a snug and secure fit.
