FAQs

What material are these U-bolts made from?

They are made from zinc-plated passivated steel, which provides good resistance to corrosion for external use.

What is the maximum diameter pole these U-bolts can secure?

These U-bolts can secure poles with a maximum outer diameter of 21mm.

What is the minimum diameter pole these U-bolts can secure?

These U-bolts can secure poles with a minimum outer diameter of 15mm.

Are nuts included with the U-bolts?

Yes, nuts are supplied with the U-bolts as pictured.

Can these U-bolts be used for internal plumbing?

While they are designed for external use, they can certainly be used for internal applications where a secure clamp is needed for pipes or poles within the specified diameter range.

What is the thread length and diameter?

The thread length is 30mm, and the thread diameter is 6mm.

How many U-bolts are in this pack?

This pack contains two U-bolts.

Troubleshooting

U-bolt does not fit the pipe/pole.

Verify the outer diameter of the pipe or pole. These U-bolts are designed for diameters between 15mm and 21mm. If it is outside this range, a different size U-bolt will be required.

Nuts are difficult to thread onto the U-bolt.

Check the U-bolt threads for any debris or damage. Ensure you are using the correct size nuts. Clean the threads if necessary.

The securing is not tight enough.

Ensure you are using the correct size U-bolt for the item being secured. Tighten the nuts firmly with a wrench. If the item is at the maximum diameter limit (21mm), the clamping force might be less than for a smaller diameter item.

Visible rust after installation.

The product is zinc-plated steel and designed for external use. Minor surface rust may appear over time but typically does not compromise the structural integrity. For aesthetic concerns, a suitable metal paint could be applied after ensuring the surface is clean and dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Corrosion-resistant zinc plating for longevity in outdoor conditions.
  • Versatile fit for pipes and poles between 15mm and 21mm in diameter.
  • Provides a strong and reliable hold for structural applications.
  • Includes necessary nuts for immediate use.
  • Suitable for a wide range of mounting scenarios.

Cons

  • Limited to a specific diameter range (15-21mm), not suitable for larger items.
  • Zinc plating may eventually wear over extended periods of extreme weather exposure.
  • Requires compatible mounting surface (wall, bracket, chimney) for installation.
  • Only two U-bolts are included, which may not be sufficient for all projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the pipe or pole to be secured and ensure its diameter falls between 15mm and 21mm.
  2. Position the pipe or pole against the desired mounting surface (e.g., bracket, wall).
  3. Place the U-bolt around the pipe/pole, ensuring the threaded legs extend towards the mounting surface.
  4. Align the threaded legs with pre-drilled holes or the desired fastening points on the mounting surface.
  5. Thread the supplied nuts onto the U-bolt legs and tighten them securely using an appropriate wrench.

Compatibility:

  • Diameter Range: Compatible with pipes and poles measuring 15mm to 21mm in outer diameter.
  • Mounting Surfaces: Suitable for attaching to flat surfaces with appropriate fixings, such as wooden beams, metal brackets, or masonry walls (ensure suitable wall plugs are used for masonry).
  • Environment: Designed for external installations, offering resistance to weather elements.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the U-bolts for signs of excessive corrosion or damage, especially after harsh weather.
  • If minor surface rust appears on the zinc plating, it can be cleaned with a wire brush. However, structural integrity is generally maintained.
  • Ensure nuts remain tight to maintain a secure fixing.
