Detailed Engineering Specifications

Purpose-built for heavy-duty applications, this U-bolt offers exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and UV radiation, making it ideal for corrosive or outdoor settings. Constructed from high-strength polycarbonate, it provides excellent dielectric properties, ensuring electrical isolation where required. The generous dimensions, with an Inside Width (A) of 4.80 inches and an Inside Length (B) of 3.45 inches, accommodate standard 2" nominal pipe sizes. Featuring a robust 1/2"-13 UNC thread size, it ensures secure and reliable fastening. This material choice significantly reduces galvanic corrosion compared to metal fasteners, extending the lifespan of both the U-bolt and the supported pipe.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the U-bolt, which can deform the polycarbonate and compromise its structural integrity or insulation properties.Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly, stopping when the pipe is firmly secured but not crushed. Use a torque wrench if precise specifications are available for the application.
Using the U-bolt in applications exceeding its specified temperature or chemical resistance limits.Always verify the operating temperature range and chemical compatibility of polycarbonate against the specific environmental conditions of the installation.
