Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring the pipe rests evenly within the curved section. 2. Place the included mounting plate or washer(s) against the flat surface where the pipe is being secured. 3. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs, tightening them evenly and progressively until the pipe is firmly secured without over-compression.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a U-bolt with insufficient inside width for the pipe's outer diameter.Always verify the U-bolt's inside width (A) is slightly larger than the pipe's outer diameter to allow for proper fit and secure clamping.
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or the U-bolt.Tighten nuts gradually and evenly until snug, then apply a final quarter-turn. Avoid excessive force.

Common Applications

  • Marine pipe support
  • Plumbing and conduit securing
  • Structural framing and bracing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure the thread size of the U-bolt matches the intended nuts and washers.
  • For critical load-bearing applications, consult relevant engineering standards and load ratings.
