Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" pipe, ensuring it rests securely on the pipe's outer diameter. 2. Place the accompanying 6061 aluminum or compatible flat washers onto the threaded legs of the U-bolt. 3. Thread the corresponding 1/2"-13 nuts onto the U-bolt legs and tighten them evenly and progressively, ensuring uniform pressure distribution for optimal pipe support and to prevent deformation.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening nuts, leading to potential deformation of the pipe or U-bolt.Tighten nuts evenly and progressively, using a torque wrench if specified for the application, to achieve firm support without over-stressing components.
Using the wrong size U-bolt, resulting in loose fit or damage to the pipe.Always verify the nominal pipe size and select a U-bolt with the correct inside width (A) to ensure a snug and effective fit.

Common Applications

  • Marine applications requiring corrosion resistance
  • Aerospace and automotive piping systems
  • Lightweight structural supports in industrial settings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of mating hardware (nuts and washers) with Aluminum 6061 to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Avoid using in applications exceeding the yield strength or fatigue limits of Aluminum 6061.
