FAQs

What material are these U-bolts made from?

These U-bolts are made from zinc-plated passivated steel, which provides good resistance to corrosion for external installations.

What is the maximum and minimum pole diameter these U-bolts can fit?

They are designed to fit poles with a minimum diameter of 65mm and a maximum diameter of 76mm.

Are nuts included with the U-bolts?

Yes, nuts are supplied with each U-bolt as pictured.

How many U-bolts are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 U-bolts.

Can these U-bolts be used for internal installations?

Yes, they can be used for internal installations, but their primary design benefit of corrosion resistance is most valuable in external settings.

What are the thread dimensions?

The thread length is 40mm and the thread diameter is 10mm.

Troubleshooting

U-bolt does not fit pole

Verify the pole's diameter is within the 65mm to 76mm range specified for this U-bolt.

Nuts are difficult to tighten

Ensure the threads on the U-bolt and nuts are clean and free from debris. Use the correct size wrench or socket.

Rust appears on the U-bolt

Minor surface rust might occur over time, especially if the zinc coating is compromised. Clean the area and consider applying a metal-specific anti-rust treatment if extensive. Ensure proper installation away from constant moisture if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent corrosion resistance due to zinc plating, suitable for outdoor applications.
Provides a secure and stable mounting solution for pipes and poles.
Comes in a convenient pack of 10 for multiple installations.
Heavy-duty construction ensures long-term reliability.

Cons

Limited to poles/pipes within a specific diameter range (65-76mm).
May require specific tools for tightening nuts securely.
Zinc plating can be scratched, potentially exposing the steel if not handled carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Position the U-bolt around the pole or pipe.
Align the legs of the U-bolt with the mounting surface or bracket.
Place the nuts onto the threaded legs.
Tighten the nuts evenly using an appropriate wrench or socket to secure the U-bolt. Avoid overtightening, which could damage the pole or bracket.

Compatibility:

Compatible with poles and pipes measuring between 65mm and 76mm in diameter.
Suitable for mounting onto flat surfaces, brackets, or directly to structures.

Care:

While zinc-plated steel offers corrosion resistance, periodic inspection for damage to the plating is recommended, especially in harsh environments.
Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the zinc coating.
