Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this U-bolt is manufactured from high-grade brass (e.g., UNS C36000 or equivalent) for exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in marine, chemical, and potable water systems. The nominal pipe size accommodated is 2 inches, with a precise inside width (A) of 1.51 inches and an inside length (B) of 7.66 inches. It features robust 1/2"-13 UNC threading, allowing for secure fastening with standard nuts and washers. This configuration is ideal for supporting and securing pipe runs where galvanic corrosion is a concern or where non-magnetic properties are required.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong U-bolt size for the pipe.Always verify the nominal pipe size and ensure the U-bolt's inside dimensions are compatible with the pipe diameter and insulation if present.
Over-tightening or under-tightening fasteners.Consult relevant engineering standards or torque charts for the appropriate tightening specification to prevent pipe damage or inadequate support.
Not considering material compatibility in corrosive environments.Select brass U-bolts for applications with potential galvanic corrosion or exposure to specific chemicals where steel or other materials would degrade.

Common Applications

  • Marine piping systems
  • Potable water distribution
  • Chemical processing lines
  • Plumbing and HVAC
  • Offshore oil and gas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper thread engagement to prevent fastener failure.
  • Verify load capacity and environmental compatibility before installation.
