Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this 3-inch polycarbonate U-bolt is constructed from a high-strength, UV-stabilized polycarbonate resin. With an inside width (A) of 1.21 inches and an inside length (B) of 3.80 inches, it is designed to accommodate standard 3-inch nominal pipe sizes. The robust 1/2"-13 UNC threads ensure secure fastening and are resistant to chemical attack, making it ideal for marine, chemical processing, and outdoor installations where metal corrosion is a primary concern. The material's inherent dielectric strength further enhances its suitability for applications requiring electrical insulation.

Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the pipe, ensuring the pipe is centered within the U-bolt's curvature. 2. Place the provided flat or saddle washer (if applicable) onto each threaded leg of the U-bolt. 3. Thread the accompanying nuts onto the U-bolt legs, tightening them evenly until the pipe is securely held, but avoid overtightening to prevent deformation.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nuts, which can lead to cracking or deformation of the polycarbonate.Tighten nuts incrementally and evenly on both sides. Apply sufficient torque to secure the pipe without excessive force.
Selecting the wrong size U-bolt for the pipe diameter, resulting in a loose or constricting fit.Verify the nominal pipe size and ensure the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) are appropriate for the specific pipe being supported.
