Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or the U-bolt.Use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for the specific application and pipe material.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe, leading to improper fit and reduced holding power.Verify the nominal pipe size and cross-reference it with the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) to ensure a correct match.

Common Applications
