Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" nominal pipe, ensuring it is centered on the desired support point. 2. Place the provided or appropriate mounting plate/cleat beneath the pipe, aligning the U-bolt legs through the designated holes. 3. Secure the U-bolt by threading the 1/2"-13 nuts onto the legs. Tighten evenly on both sides to achieve the required clamping force, but avoid overtightening which could deform the pipe.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always select 316 stainless steel for applications involving saltwater, chemicals, or other corrosive agents to prevent premature failure.
Incorrectly measuring the pipe size, leading to an ill-fitting U-bolt.Confirm the nominal pipe size and corresponding U-bolt dimensions (inside width and length) before ordering to ensure a proper fit and secure installation.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and rigging
  • Chemical processing equipment supports
  • Wastewater treatment plant infrastructure
  • Offshore oil and gas platforms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure all fasteners (nuts and washers) are also of 316 stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Verify that the U-bolt's load rating is appropriate for the application's weight and dynamic forces.
