A proven choice for industrial professionals, this U-bolt is manufactured from high-strength Aluminum 6061, renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and chemical processing environments. Featuring an inside width (A) of 3.13 inches and an inside length (B) of 7.40 inches, it is precisely engineered to accommodate standard 3-inch nominal pipe sizes. The 1/2"-13 UNC thread size ensures robust and secure fastening with compatible nuts and washers (sold separately), providing reliable support and vibration dampening for piping systems.
This component strictly adheres to the tolerances, material specifications, and quality benchmarks set by the world's leading industrial manufacturers.
1. Verify U-bolt dimensions and thread size match pipe and mounting requirements. 2. Position U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring snug contact with the pipe surface. 3. Secure the U-bolt by threading nuts onto the bolt ends, tightening evenly on both sides to the specified torque.
