Do you know what to pay attention to when installing U-nails?

U-shaped nails have a wide range of uses, especially in grasslands, but they also have many precautions during the installation process. Below, we will popularize the precautions for installing U-shaped nails for your reference.

1. Materials used for U-shaped nails

In many cases, some knowledge about U-nails is sometimes overlooked in work. In this case, some metal combinations can lead to thinning, and if the material of the U-shaped nail is unknown, the service life of the U-shaped nail usually decreases. For example, when stainless steel rubs against aluminum, the electrode will be pulled out of the aluminum plate, causing the aluminum to decompose faster. Based on past experience, to avoid mixing with other metals, it is necessary to ensure which metal combination is used. If you are using pipes that require sliding, please consider using U-nails with thermoplastic coatings, which will reduce friction and help prevent pipe cracking or tearing.And we also offer such products.

2. Connect to the correct depth

Alternatively, the degree of freedom of motion of the pipeline oil pipe determines the depth of the U-shaped nail. However, if the U-shaped nail cannot penetrate deep enough, it may cause serious problems. This may result in the nut being unable to firmly fasten the U-shaped nail due to gravity and pipeline pulling, which may cause the bolt to fall off and objects to fall off. On the contrary, ensure that the bolt extends through the entire head of the nut. If the nut extends beyond the end of the bolt, additional pressure will be applied to the bolt and nut.
