Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring the pipe is centered within the U-bolt's curvature. 2. Align the threaded legs of the U-bolt with the mounting surface and insert the included nuts and washers onto the threads. 3. Tighten the nuts evenly and securely, ensuring firm contact with the mounting surface and the pipe without overtightening, which could damage the nylon.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nutsApply firm, even pressure to the nuts. Overtightening can deform the nylon material, compromising its structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
Using incorrect pipe sizeVerify the nominal pipe diameter before selecting the U-bolt. This U-bolt is designed for 3-inch nominal pipe, which has an actual outer diameter typically around 3.5 inches.

Common Applications

  • Plumbing and Pipe Support
  • Electrical Conduit Securing
  • Marine and Coastal Applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not exceed the recommended load rating for this U-bolt.
  • Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound to support the applied loads.
