Installation Procedure

1. Position the U-bolt around the 3" nominal pipe, ensuring it sits snugly against the pipe surface. 2. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt legs, applying initial hand-tightening. 3. Using appropriate wrenches, tighten the nuts evenly in an alternating pattern to achieve the specified torque, ensuring uniform pressure distribution.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening of nuts, leading to thread damage or deformation of the U-bolt.Utilize a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for the 1/2"-13 thread size. Avoid excessive force.
Incorrect U-bolt size selection, resulting in a loose or overly tight fit on the pipe.Verify the nominal pipe size (3") and ensure the U-bolt's inside dimensions (A and B) are compatible. Measure the pipe's outside diameter if uncertain.

Common Applications

  • Marine and Offshore Structures
  • Chemical Processing Plants
  • Aerospace and Defense Systems
  • Desalination Plants
  • Oil and Gas Pipelines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation.
  • Ensure compatibility of mating hardware (nuts and washers) with Titanium Grade 5 to prevent galvanic corrosion.
