Just drill and tap the barrell with two set screws and it can't go anywhere.

My way was easier and I don't have the ability to drill and tap. It hasn't moved since.

When you say twisted, did the whole pipe rotate, or did it permanently deform?
If the former, you didn't tighten enough during assembly. If the latter, you didn't wait long enough for it to heat up (20 minutes after 180C has been reached).

I know right, I thought we where going to get a break finally from all the printer jargon..

The wordings were confusing. I was given only the black spacers.

]]>You have assembled it incorrectly, for starters. the instructions don't say no spacers if bolts less than 3 inches, they say you don't need the SECOND set of spacers if bolts less than 3 inches.
7.) Lay out 4 main bolts, put a washer on each. If your main bolts are 3” or longer, put on a black spacer too.
8.) Slide bolts through the flange, then put a black spacer on each bolt, then slide through the wooden support, and then the flange. The flat side of the flange faces the wooden support.So if less than 3", you end up with one spacer on each bolt.
If greater than 3", you end up with two spacers on each bolt.If the nipple is twisting, either you did not wait long enough after 180C was reached (15-20 minutes after 180C, as noted in the instructions) or you did not tighten it sufficiently during assembly.
