Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts, tradespeople, and anyone needing to securely fasten pipes, poles, or similar items to surfaces like walls or brackets. The key benefit is a robust and corrosion-resistant fixing solution. A minor caveat is the specific diameter range, so ensure your application fits. These U-bolts are constructed from high-grade, zinc-plated passivated steel, offering durability and protection against rust, and are supplied with nuts. They are ideal for applications requiring a strong, reliable hold on cylindrical objects.

FAQs

What material are these U-bolts made from?

They are made from high-grade, zinc-plated passivated steel, offering good resistance to corrosion.

What is the compatible diameter range for poles or pipes?

These U-bolts are designed for objects with diameters between 25mm and 34mm.

Do the U-bolts come with nuts?

Yes, the U-bolts are supplied with the necessary nuts for installation.

What is the thread length and diameter?

The U-bolt has a thread length of 30mm and a thread diameter of 10mm.

Can these be used for outdoor applications?

Yes, the zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for most outdoor applications.

How many U-bolts are included in a pack?

Each pack contains two U-bolts.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need wrenches or socket sets to tighten the nuts securely.

Troubleshooting

U-bolt does not fit the pole/pipe.

Verify the diameter of the pole/pipe. This U-bolt is designed for diameters between 25mm and 34mm. If outside this range, a different size U-bolt is required.

Nuts are difficult to thread onto the U-bolt.

Ensure the U-bolt threads are clean and free from debris. Check that the nuts are aligned correctly with the threads. Avoid cross-threading.

Insufficient thread length for secure fastening.

Ensure the bracket or mounting surface is not excessively thick. The thread length is 30mm; if a thicker material is used, a U-bolt with a longer thread may be necessary.

Signs of rust appearing over time.

While zinc-plated steel offers good protection, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments may cause surface rust. Clean the area and consider applying a suitable metal protectant spray if extensive rust develops.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to zinc-plated passivated steel.
  • Provides a secure and reliable fixing for pipes and poles.
  • Resistant to rust and corrosion, suitable for various environments.
  • Easy to install with the included nuts.
  • Suitable for a range of common pipe and pole diameters.

Cons

  • Limited to a specific pole diameter range (25mm-34mm).
  • May require additional washers depending on the mounting surface.
  • Sold in packs of two, which might be more than needed for some single-fix applications.
  • Requires basic tools for tightening nuts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the object (pipe or pole) and the surface you wish to attach it to.
  2. Ensure the object's diameter falls within the 25mm to 34mm range.
  3. Position the U-bolt around the object and align the threaded ends with the mounting surface.
  4. Place the nuts onto the threaded ends and tighten securely using appropriate wrenches. Use of washers may be beneficial for distributing pressure.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with poles and pipes with diameters ranging from 25mm to 34mm.
  • Can be fixed to walls, brackets, chimneys, wood, and other solid structures.
  • Requires tools such as wrenches or socket sets for installation.

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plating.
  • Periodically check the tightness of the nuts, especially in applications subject to vibration or significant load.
  • While corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme salt environments may eventually affect the finish.
