A proven choice for industrial professionals, this U-bolt is manufactured from high-grade carbon steel, offering superior tensile strength and resistance to deformation under load. The inside width (A) of 3.85 inches and inside length (B) of 7.49 inches are engineered to accommodate standard 3" nominal pipe dimensions, ensuring a snug and secure fit. The 1/2"-13 UNC thread size provides ample engagement with compatible nuts for secure fastening. This robust construction makes it ideal for seismic bracing, conduit support, and general pipe hanging applications where structural integrity is paramount.
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, ensuring it is centered. 2. Place the included flat or saddle washers onto the threaded legs of the U-bolt. 3. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs and tighten them evenly and progressively until the pipe is securely held, but not deformed.

| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Over-tightening the U-bolt, which can deform the pipe or conduit. | Tighten nuts evenly and progressively to secure the pipe without causing damage. Consult engineering drawings for specific torque values if available. |
| Using U-bolts of the incorrect size for the pipe or conduit. | Verify the nominal pipe size and U-bolt dimensions before installation. Ensure the inside width and length are appropriate for a secure fit. |
