Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring the pipe is seated within the U-bolt's curvature. 2. Align the threaded legs of the U-bolt with the mounting surface and thread the provided nuts onto each leg. 3. Tighten the nuts evenly and progressively, ensuring a snug fit without over-tightening to prevent deformation of the pipe or bolt.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong U-bolt size for the pipe diameter.Always verify the nominal pipe size and select a U-bolt with the appropriate inside dimensions to ensure a secure and proper fit.
Uneven tightening of the nuts.Tighten nuts alternately and incrementally to ensure even pressure distribution and prevent stress concentrations on the pipe and U-bolt.

Common Applications

  • Marine pipe support
