Detailed Engineering Specifications

Purpose-built for heavy-duty applications, this brass U-bolt is designed to provide robust support for 2" nominal pipe. Featuring an inside width (A) of 3.38 inches and an inside length (B) of 5.83 inches, it offers ample clearance for pipe insulation and movement. The 1/2"-13 UNC thread size ensures compatibility with standard nuts and washers for secure fastening. The inherent corrosion resistance of brass makes this U-bolt ideal for marine, chemical processing, water treatment, and other environments where traditional steel fasteners would rapidly degrade. Its ductility and malleability allow for slight adjustments during installation, while its strength guarantees stable and lasting pipe anchoring.

Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" pipe, ensuring it rests securely on the supporting structure. 2. Thread the provided nuts onto the U-bolt legs, hand-tightening initially. 3. Use appropriate wrenches to tighten the nuts uniformly, ensuring the pipe is held firmly without overtightening, which could deform the pipe or U-bolt.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using an incorrect thread size for nuts, leading to a loose or non-functional connection.Always verify that the nuts used have a 1/2"-13 thread size to match the U-bolt.
Overtightening the U-bolt, potentially crushing insulation or deforming the pipe and weakening the support.Tighten nuts evenly until snug, then apply a final quarter-turn to secure. Avoid excessive force.
Installing in a highly corrosive environment without considering the specific grade of brass for optimal longevity.Confirm the brass alloy is suitable for the specific corrosive elements present in the application for maximum lifespan.
