Detailed Engineering Specifications

A high-performance industrial component, this polycarbonate U-bolt is designed for secure and durable pipe support. Featuring an inside width (A) of 3.80 inches and an inside length (B) of 7.05 inches, it is perfectly suited for 2-inch nominal pipe sizes. The 1/2"-13 UNC thread size ensures compatibility with standard fastening hardware. Constructed from high-strength, UV-stabilized polycarbonate, this U-bolt offers superior resistance to a broad spectrum of chemicals, acids, and alkalis, making it ideal for corrosive atmospheres. Its non-conductive properties also provide excellent electrical insulation, crucial for applications where conductivity is a concern. The material's inherent toughness and impact resistance ensure sustained performance under significant mechanical loads.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the U-bolt, which can lead to cracking or deformation of the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts gradually and evenly until snug, then apply a final quarter-turn. Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque for polycarbonate fasteners.
Using the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter, resulting in an insecure or damaging fit.Always verify the 'pipe size' the U-bolt is designed for (in this case, 2" nominal pipe) against the actual pipe being secured. Check the inside dimensions (A and B) against the pipe's outer diameter and required clearance.

Common Applications
