About the product

A U-bolt backing plate is a flat bar with a pipe cut-out and two holes for the U-bolt legs. It closes the clamp on the supporting surface side and, paired with a U-bolt of the same size, secures pipes to structures without drilling holes in the supporting surface.

The manufacturer's designation Ø8 × 23 mm specifies the dimensions of the matching U-bolt: the rod diameter Ø8 mm and the internal spacing between the legs A = 23 mm. The matching pipe size is 1/2". During installation, fit the backing plate over the U-bolt legs with the cut-out facing the pipe, then tighten the nuts alternately on both sides until the pipe is clamped evenly.

The coating (zinc-coated) protects the steel against corrosion under typical conditions. In the event of contact with salt, chemicals or constant moisture, choose a finish suitable for the exposure conditions. The backing plate is not sold in a set with a U-bolt. The load capacity of the fixing depends on the pipe, the structure and the tightening force – it is determined by the design.
