Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" nominal pipe, ensuring the pipe is seated within the curve. 2. Place the U-bolt mounting plate or saddle beneath the pipe and align the threaded legs with the plate's holes. 3. Secure the U-bolt by threading on the provided nuts (or appropriate nuts for the application) evenly until snug, then tighten to the recommended torque specification for the application and material, avoiding over-tightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel U-bolts in corrosive environments.Always specify and use brass or other corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel for applications exposed to moisture, saltwater, or chemicals to prevent premature failure.
Over-tightening the nuts, potentially deforming the pipe or U-bolt.Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly. Refer to application-specific torque charts or consult an engineer if precise torque values are critical.

Common Applications

  • Plumbing systems in corrosive environments
  • Marine applications and shipboard piping
  • Chemical processing and handling
  • Water treatment facilities

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of brass with the fluid or environment to prevent dezincification or other forms of corrosion.
  • Verify that the U-bolt's rated load capacity is not exceeded for the intended application.
