Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this U-bolt is constructed from high-grade carbon steel, offering exceptional tensile strength and corrosion resistance for long-term performance in harsh environments. The 1.69" inside width accommodates a 3" nominal pipe diameter, while the 2.36" inside length provides ample clearance for mounting and securing. Equipped with 1/2"-13 UNC threads, it is designed for use with standard nuts and washers (sold separately) to create a secure fastening system capable of withstanding significant axial and radial loads. This specification ensures reliable pipe support in plumbing, HVAC, and structural applications.
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 pipe and through the mounting surface. 2. Thread the provided nuts onto the U-bolt threads, ensuring even engagement. 3. Tighten nuts progressively and evenly to achieve the specified clamping force, avoiding over-tightening.

| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Selecting the wrong pipe size U-bolt. | Always verify the nominal pipe diameter and match it with the U-bolt's inside width (A) specification. For a 3" pipe, an inside width of approximately 1.69" is typically required. |
| Over-tightening nuts, leading to pipe deformation. | Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly. Use a torque wrench if precise clamping force is critical for the application to prevent crushing or damaging the pipe. |
| Not using appropriate washers. | Always use hardened flat washers under the nuts to distribute the clamping force evenly and prevent the nut from digging into the pipe or mounting surface. |
