Standard U-Bolts

WHAT I DO?

U-Bolts are intended for generally three applications:

• Restain or guide a pipe during operation.
• Hold a hanging pipe.
• Restain pipe for shipment.

BENEFITS

• Easy to install.
• Cost effective.
• Readily available.
• Easily customized. 
• Low cost of installation

HOW TO INSTALL

1. Remove both nuts from each side of the U-Bolt
2. Thread U-Bolt around the pipe you are attaching and through the two holes that will be used to attach the U-Bolt to the beam or structure.
3. Thread both nuts on to each side
4. Hand tighten the closest nuts to the beam first
5. Tighten the second nut on each side to lock the U-Bolt into place. Use a wrench or power toll to tighten for a secure fit.
