Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 2" polycarbonate U-bolt is manufactured from high-performance, impact-resistant polycarbonate resin. The internal dimensions of 2.00" (A) and 4.95" (B) are precisely controlled to ensure a snug fit around standard 2" Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipes. Featuring a 1/2"-13 UNC thread size on both legs, it provides excellent load-bearing capacity while maintaining its structural integrity in corrosive atmospheres, extreme temperatures (-40°F to 176°F), and applications requiring non-conductivity. This material offers excellent UV stability for outdoor use.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the polycarbonate material and compromise its load-bearing capacity.Tighten nuts until snug and the pipe is securely held, but avoid excessive force. Periodic re-tightening may be necessary in high-vibration environments.
Selecting the wrong U-bolt size for the pipe diameter, leading to a loose or overly compressed fit.Always verify the pipe's outer diameter and consult the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A) to ensure a proper fit. This 2" U-bolt is designed for pipes with an approximate 2.375" outer diameter.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing pipe support
  • Water treatment facility piping
  • Electrical conduit support in corrosive environments
  • Marine applications
  • Food and beverage processing lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Maximum load rating must not be exceeded to prevent failure.
  • Avoid exposure to solvents or chemicals not rated for polycarbonate, as this may degrade the material.
