Empire Industries 137PC0300 U-bolt Hex Nuts Plastic 3 Inch Ips

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES 137PC0300 is a standard U-bolt assembly with hex nuts featuring a plastic coating, sized for 3-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 provides a barrier between the steel fastener and the pipe surface, reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion and protecting pipe coatings or linings during installation. This type of hardware is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on pipe support systems.

This U-bolt is suited for residential and commercial pipe support applications where 3-inch IPS pipe must be anchored to framing, hangers, or structural members. Typical install scenarios include supply and drain piping in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and in-wall or below-slab runs. The included hex nuts allow for secure tightening against the mounting plate or strut channel without requiring additional hardware.

Key Features

• Plastic coating protects pipe surface and reduces galvanic corrosion risk
• Sized for 3-inch IPS pipe
• Includes hex nuts for complete fastener assembly
• Standard U-bolt profile for use with strut channel or flat mounting plates

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit U-bolt for 3-inch IPS pipe support applications in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements for pipe support spacing and fastener ratings. Shut off the relevant piping system and depressurize before repositioning or replacing pipe supports. Use appropriately rated backing plates or strut channel to distribute load across the mounting surface. Do not overtighten hex nuts against plastic-coated hardware, as excessive torque can crack or deform the coating.
