Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this 4" polycarbonate U-bolt offers exceptional chemical inertness and UV resistance, making it ideal for harsh industrial and marine environments. With an Inside Width (A) of 4.88 inches and an Inside Length (B) of 6.73 inches, it securely accommodates standard 4-inch nominal pipe sizes. The 1/2"-13 UNC thread size on the galvanized steel bolts ensures robust fastening and compatibility with standard mounting hardware. Polycarbonate's inherent non-conductive properties also make it a safe choice for preventing galvanic corrosion and electrical hazards.
