Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this Brass U-Bolt is designed for optimal performance and longevity. Constructed from high-grade brass (UNS C36000 or equivalent), it offers superior resistance to corrosion and galvanic action, making it ideal for marine, chemical processing, and water-related applications. The U-bolt features an inside width (A) of 2.60 inches and an inside length (B) of 7.54 inches, ensuring a secure fit for standard 3-inch nominal pipe sizes. Each leg is threaded with a 1/2"-13 UNC coarse thread, accommodating standard nuts and washers for secure fastening. The material's inherent strength and durability provide reliable support under various load conditions.
This component strictly adheres to the tolerances, material specifications, and quality benchmarks set by the world's leading industrial manufacturers.
1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring the pipe is centered between the legs. 2. Place the provided nuts and washers onto the threaded ends of the U-bolt. 3. Tighten the nuts evenly and progressively until the pipe is securely held, but avoid overtightening to prevent pipe deformation.

| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter. | Always verify the pipe's nominal size and compare it to the U-bolt's inside width (A) to ensure a proper fit. |
| Overtightening fasteners, potentially damaging the pipe or the U-bolt. | Tighten nuts evenly in a star pattern, stopping when the pipe is firmly secured without visible deformation. |
| Using incompatible materials that can lead to galvanic corrosion. | Ensure all components in contact with the brass U-bolt (e.g., pipe clamps, mounting surfaces) are also made of compatible materials or are properly insulated. |
