Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" pipe, ensuring it rests evenly on the pipe's exterior. 2. Insert the threaded legs of the U-bolt through the mounting holes of the supporting structure or bracket. 3. Securely fasten the U-bolt by tightening two 1/2"-13 nuts (sold separately) onto the threaded ends, ensuring uniform pressure on both sides.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe.Always verify the nominal pipe size and compare it with the U-bolt's inside dimensions (Width A and Length B) to ensure a proper fit.
Under-tightening the securing nuts.Ensure nuts are tightened firmly to the specified torque (if provided by the support system manufacturer) to prevent pipe movement and vibration.
Using non-stainless steel hardware in corrosive environments.Always pair 304 stainless steel U-bolts with compatible 304 stainless steel nuts and washers to maintain corrosion resistance throughout the assembly.

Common Applications

  • Plumbing and piping in chemical plants
  • Marine and offshore structures
  • Exhaust system support
  • General industrial pipe clamping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of mounting hardware (nuts, washers) with 304 stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Do not exceed the load-bearing capacity of the U-bolt and its supporting structure.
