Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" pipe, ensuring the pipe is seated within the curved portion. 2. Place the included flat or saddle washer (sold separately) against the pipe on each leg of the U-bolt. 3. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs, tightening evenly until secure and the pipe is firmly held, but avoid overtightening to prevent pipe deformation.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a U-bolt with insufficient inside width or length for the pipe size.Always verify the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) against the nominal pipe size and required clearance before installation.
Overtightening nuts, causing pipe damage or deformation.Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly on both legs. Stop when the pipe is securely held, not when the U-bolt is fully bottomed out.

Common Applications

  • Structural pipe support in commercial and industrial facilities
  • Conduit and cable tray mounting
  • Plumbing and HVAC system anchoring

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure all fasteners (nuts, washers) are compatible with the U-bolt material and adequately rated for the load.
  • Inspect U-bolts regularly for signs of corrosion, wear, or damage, and replace as necessary.
