Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this U-bolt features a 1.09-inch inside width (A) and a 2.88-inch inside length (B), designed to accommodate standard 3-inch pipes. The 1/2"-13 UNC thread size provides robust engagement with compatible nuts and washers. Constructed from high-strength, UV-stabilized nylon, it exhibits superior resistance to a wide range of chemicals, moisture, and environmental degradation, making it an ideal choice for applications where metal corrosion is a concern, such as marine, chemical processing, and outdoor installations. Its non-conductive properties also make it suitable for electrical conduit support.
