Detailed Engineering Specifications

Designed for demanding industrial environments, this 3-inch U-bolt is constructed from high-impact, chemical-resistant polycarbonate. Featuring an inside width (A) of 1.10 inches and an inside length (B) of 6.38 inches, it accommodates standard 3-inch nominal pipe sizes. The 1/2"-13 UNC thread size offers robust fastening capabilities. Polycarbonate's non-conductive and UV-stable properties make it suitable for applications where electrical insulation or outdoor exposure is a concern, preventing galvanic corrosion and degradation. This U-bolt is an excellent choice for water treatment, chemical processing, and marine environments.
