Detailed Engineering Specifications

A high-performance industrial component, this 4" polycarbonate U-bolt is precisely manufactured to support 4-inch nominal diameter piping. It features an inside width (A) of 3.63 inches and an inside length (B) of 5.46 inches, accommodating standard pipe dimensions. The integrated 1/2"-13 UNC threads ensure secure fastening. Constructed from high-impact polycarbonate, it offers superior resistance to a wide range of chemicals, UV degradation, and extreme temperatures (-40°F to 250°F), making it ideal for corrosive or electrically sensitive applications. Its non-conductive nature prevents galvanic corrosion and electrical bridging.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nuts, which can deform the polycarbonate and compromise its structural integrity.Use a torque wrench to tighten the nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for polycarbonate fasteners.
Incorrectly sizing the U-bolt for the pipe diameter, leading to poor fit and potential failure.Always verify the pipe's nominal and outside diameter against the U-bolt's inside dimensions before installation.
