Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2-inch pipe, ensuring the pipe is centered within the curved section. 2. Place the supplied washers onto the threaded legs of the U-bolt, followed by the nuts. 3. Tighten the nuts evenly and progressively, alternating sides, until the pipe is securely held against the mounting surface. Avoid overtightening, which could deform the pipe.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect U-bolt size for the pipe diameter.Always verify the pipe's nominal and actual outer diameter to select a U-bolt with an appropriate inside width (A).
Overtightening nuts, causing pipe deformation or stress.Apply consistent, firm pressure. Consult torque specifications if available for the specific application and mounting material.
Using incompatible materials in corrosive environments.Ensure the brass U-bolt is suitable for the specific chemical or environmental exposure to prevent premature corrosion or material degradation.

Common Applications

  • Plumbing and pipe support in corrosive environments (e.g., marine, chemical plants)
  • Mounting of conduit and piping systems in food and beverage processing
  • Electrical conduit support in areas requiring non-sparking materials

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of brass with surrounding materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Regularly inspect for signs of wear or corrosion, especially in harsh environments.
