Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can damage the pipe or the U-bolt threads.Tighten the nuts to the recommended torque specification for the thread size and application, ensuring an even distribution of clamping force.
Using a U-bolt with incorrect dimensions for the pipe size or mounting application.Verify that the Inside Width (A) and Inside Length (B) of the U-bolt are appropriate for the nominal pipe size and the desired clamping configuration.

Common Applications

  • Marine and Offshore Structures
  • Chemical Processing Plants
  • Aerospace Fluid Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of Grade 5 Titanium with the surrounding environment to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Always use appropriate torque wrenches for installation to prevent over-stressing components.
