Empire Industries 137PC0200 U-bolt Hex Nuts Plastic Coated 2in Ips

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES 137PC0200 is a standard U-bolt assembly with hex nuts and a plastic coating, sized for 2-inch IPS (Iron Pipe Size) pipe. U-bolts in this configuration are used to secure pipe runs to structural supports, preventing lateral movement and vibration transfer. The plastic coating protects both the fastener and the pipe surface from galvanic corrosion and abrasion at the contact point. This hardware is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors during rough-in and finish piping work.

This U-bolt is suited for residential and light commercial pipe support applications where a 2-inch IPS pipe must be anchored to wood framing, unistrut, or structural steel. The included hex nuts allow for straightforward tightening with standard hand tools. The plastic coating makes it appropriate for use with copper, PVC, or steel pipe where surface protection at the clamp point is required.

Key Features

• Sized for 2-inch IPS pipe for direct, no-modification installation
• Plastic coating protects pipe surface and resists corrosion at contact points
• Includes hex nuts for complete, ready-to-install assembly
• Standard U-bolt geometry fits common pipe support and hanger applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard pipe support fastener for 2-inch IPS pipe in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements for pipe support spacing and attachment. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before repositioning any existing pipe supports. Tighten hex nuts evenly to avoid canting the U-bolt and uneven load on the pipe wall. Do not overtighten against plastic-coated surfaces, as excessive clamping force can damage the coating and defeat its protective purpose.
