Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 2" pipe, ensuring it rests evenly on the pipe's outer diameter. 2. Place the accompanying U-bolt plate or saddle underneath the pipe, aligning the plate's holes with the U-bolt's threaded legs. 3. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs, tightening them incrementally and alternately until the pipe is securely held without deformation.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the pipe's nominal and actual outer diameter against the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A) to ensure a proper fit.
Over-tightening the nuts, potentially deforming the pipe or U-bolt.Tighten nuts evenly and incrementally until snug, avoiding excessive force. Use a torque wrench for critical applications if specified.
Using incompatible materials in corrosive environments, leading to galvanic corrosion.Ensure the U-bolt material (brass) is compatible with the pipe material and the surrounding environment to prevent premature failure.

Common Applications

  • Plumbing and Pipe Support
  • Marine and Coastal Installations
  • Corrosive Industrial Environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure all nuts and washers are of compatible material (e.g., brass) to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Periodically inspect U-bolts for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, especially in harsh environments.
