Manufactured under strict quality controls, this U-bolt is specifically designed for a 3" nominal pipe size, featuring an actual inside width (A) of 1.83 inches and an inside length (B) of 6.20 inches. Constructed from high-grade 316 stainless steel, it offers exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it ideal for applications exposed to chlorides, sulfates, and other aggressive media. The 1/2"-13 UNC coarse thread size provides ample engagement for secure fastening with compatible nuts and washers, ensuring reliable structural support and vibration dampening.
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 3" pipe, ensuring the pipe is centrally located within the U-bolt's curve. 2. Place the supplied or compatible flat and/or lock washers onto the threaded legs of the U-bolt. 3. Thread the appropriate nuts onto the U-bolt legs, tightening them evenly and securely to the desired torque specification to firmly secure the pipe.

| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using a standard carbon steel U-bolt in a corrosive environment. | Always select a 316 stainless steel U-bolt for marine, chemical, or high-humidity applications to prevent premature rust and failure. |
| Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform the pipe or damage the threads. | Tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification or ensure a firm, secure hold without excessive force. |
| Incorrectly measuring the pipe size, leading to a U-bolt that is too large or too small. | Always confirm the nominal and actual outside diameter of the pipe before selecting a U-bolt. This U-bolt is designed for a 3" nominal pipe size with an approximate 1.83" inside width. |
