About the product

A U-bolt is a U-shaped (curved) clamp made from rod threaded at both ends. It is used to secure pipes, masts and round bars to beams, posts and structures.

In the manufacturer's designation M8 × 49 mm, M8 indicates the thread, and 49 mm is the internal spacing between the legs A. The product is intended for 1 1/2" pipe – select the U-bolt to suit the outside diameter of the pipe being secured. Values are nominal, in accordance with the manufacturer's dimensional designation; leg and thread lengths in the drawing are for illustration only. During installation, pass the legs through the holes in the substrate or in a U-bolt backing plate of the same size. Tighten the M8 nuts alternately on both sides until the clamp sits evenly against the pipe.

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 load capacity of the fixing depends on the substrate, the pipe and the tightening force – it is determined by the design.
