Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" pipe, ensuring it rests securely within the saddle. 2. Thread the accompanying nuts onto the U-bolt ends, hand-tightening initially. 3. Use appropriate wrenches to tighten the nuts evenly on both sides, achieving a firm but not over-stressed grip on the pipe and mounting surface.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nuts, which can deform or fracture the nylon.Tighten nuts to snug, then an additional quarter-turn. Use a torque wrench if specific torque values are required for the application.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter.Always verify the 'Pipe Size' against the U-bolt's internal dimensions (A and B) before installation.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing pipe support
  • Marine and offshore pipe mounting
  • Outdoor conduit and plumbing
  • Electrical conduit clamping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Maximum operating temperature for nylon should not be exceeded to maintain material integrity.
  • Ensure compatibility of the nylon material with specific chemicals present in the environment.
