Empire Industries 137PC0400 U-bolt Hex Nuts Plastic Coated 4 in Ips

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES 137PC0400 is a standard U-bolt assembly with hex nuts, featuring a plastic coating and sized for 4-inch IPS (Iron Pipe Size) pipe. U-bolts in this configuration are used to secure pipe runs to structural supports, hangers, or strut channel. The plastic coating provides a barrier between the steel fastener and the pipe surface, reducing the risk of abrasion, galvanic interaction, and noise transmission at contact points. This hardware is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors during pipe support work on commercial and residential projects.

This U-bolt assembly is suited for pipe support applications involving 4-inch IPS pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. It is typically used where pipe must be anchored to unistrut, beam clamps, or threaded rod hangers. The included hex nuts allow for direct installation without sourcing separate fasteners, making it a complete support unit straight out of the package.

Key Features

• Sized for 4-inch IPS pipe for a secure, consistent fit
• Plastic coating protects pipe surface from abrasion and metal-to-metal contact
• Includes hex nuts for complete, ready-to-install assembly
• Standard U-bolt geometry compatible with common strut and hanger installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pipe support fastener for 4-inch IPS pipe in standard plumbing and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off the piping system and relieve pressure before adjusting or repositioning pipe supports. Fasten hex nuts to even, consistent tension to avoid distorting the pipe or coating. All pipe support installations should comply with applicable IPC and IFGC requirements for hanger spacing and support intervals.
