A proven choice for industrial professionals, this U-bolt is fabricated from high-grade carbon steel, offering superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance for demanding applications. With an inside width (A) of 4.86 inches and an inside length (B) of 3.02 inches, it is designed to securely accommodate a 3-inch nominal pipe size. The 1/2"-13 thread size ensures a strong, dependable connection when paired with appropriate nuts and washers, making it ideal for structural support, conduit mounting, and general pipe securing in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial process systems.
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 the supporting structure. 2. Insert the threaded ends through the mounting holes of the supporting structure. 3. Securely fasten using appropriate size nuts and washers (not included), tightening evenly on both sides.

| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter. | Always verify the U-bolt's inside dimensions (width and length) match the nominal pipe size and any insulation. |
| Over-tightening or under-tightening the nuts. | Tighten nuts evenly and securely to achieve firm support without deforming the pipe or structure. Refer to torque specifications if available for critical applications. |
