FAQs

What does the 95mm measurement refer to?

The 95mm measurement indicates the internal diameter between the legs of the U-bolt clamp. It is the maximum diameter of the object the clamp can effectively secure.

What materials are these clamps made from?

The clamps are made from mild steel and feature a zinc-plated finish for anti-corrosive properties.

Can these clamps be used for exhaust systems?

Yes, these clamps are versatile and commonly used for securing exhaust pipes and components due to their strength and durability.

Are nuts included with the clamps?

Yes, each clamp comes complete with nuts for immediate installation.

How many clamps are in a pack?

This product is a pack of two universal heavy-duty exhaust U-bolt clamps.

Can I use these clamps for outdoor applications?

Yes, the zinc plating provides anti-corrosive properties making them suitable for many outdoor applications. Periodic inspection and maintenance are recommended for longevity.

What is the maximum weight these clamps can support?

The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. Performance depends on correct installation, the materials being clamped, and the mounting surface.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not fit the pipe/mast

Verify the measurement of the pipe/mast and compare it to the 95mm internal diameter of the clamp. You may need a different size clamp.

Difficulty tightening the nuts

Ensure the threads on the U-bolt and nuts are clean and free from debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the threads if necessary.

Clamp feels loose after tightening

Ensure nuts are tightened evenly and sufficiently. Check that the U-bolt is properly seated and not slipping on the clamped object or surface.

Rust appears on the clamp

While zinc plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive elements can cause rust. Clean the area and consider applying a protective coating or replacing the clamp if severe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the U-bolt around the object to be secured and the mounting surface.
  2. Place the nuts onto the threaded ends of the U-bolt.
  3. Using appropriate wrenches, tighten the nuts evenly. Ensure the clamp is snug and secure, but avoid overtightening, which could damage the clamped material or the clamp itself.

Compatibility:

  • The 95mm measurement refers to the inside diameter between the legs of the U-bolt. Ensure this dimension is suitable for the pipes, masts, or framing you intend to secure.
  • Compatible with most standard threaded hardware for tightening.
  • Suitable for use with materials like steel, plastic, or composite pipes and poles within the specified diameter.

Care:
