Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" pipe, ensuring the pipe sits flush within the curve. 2. Thread the appropriate nuts onto each leg of the U-bolt, engaging them with the existing threads. 3. Tighten the nuts incrementally and evenly to achieve a secure and stable fit, avoiding overtightening which can deform the pipe or bolt.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Selecting the wrong pipe size, leading to an insecure or incompatible fit.Always verify the nominal pipe diameter and confirm the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) precisely match the pipe's outer diameter and required clearance.
Using incompatible fasteners or failing to tighten nuts evenly.Utilize Grade 5 or Grade 8 zinc-plated or stainless steel nuts and washers designed for 1/2"-13 UNC threads. Tighten nuts in an alternating pattern to ensure uniform pressure.

Common Applications

  • Marine and offshore pipe support
  • Coastal and corrosive environment applications
  • Lightweight structural pipe framing
  • Chemical and water treatment facility pipe securing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure the U-bolt is rated for the intended load and environmental conditions. Aluminum 6061 is generally suitable for moderate loads and corrosive environments but may not be appropriate for extreme temperatures or heavy industrial shock loads.
  • Always use appropriate safety equipment during installation. Verify that the pipe is properly supported before and during U-bolt installation to prevent accidental dislodgement.
