Detailed Engineering Specifications

Purpose-built for heavy-duty applications, this U-bolt is constructed from advanced polycarbonate, providing superior chemical inertness and resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, and solvents. With an inside width (A) of 4.05 inches and an inside length (B) of 6.85 inches, it is designed to securely accommodate standard 4-inch diameter piping. The robust 1/2"-13 UNC thread size ensures reliable fastening and load-bearing capacity. Polycarbonate's inherent non-conductive properties make this U-bolt ideal for applications where electrical isolation is critical, preventing galvanic corrosion and ensuring safety in sensitive systems. Its UV stability also contributes to long-term performance in exposed installations.
