Empire Industries 137PC0600 U-bolt Hex Nuts 6 Inch Ips

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES 137PC0600 is a standard U-bolt with hex nuts, featuring a plastic coating over a 6-inch IPS (Iron Pipe Size) configuration. U-bolts in this class are used to secure pipe runs to structural supports, hangers, or framing members. The plastic coating provides a protective barrier between the metal fastener and the pipe surface, helping to reduce abrasion, vibration transfer, and galvanic contact. This type of fastener is commonly installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors during rough-in and pipe support work.

This U-bolt is sized for 6-inch IPS pipe, making it suitable for larger-diameter pipe support applications in residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical installation scenarios include securing main supply or drain lines to floor joists, wall studs, or unistrut framing. The included hex nuts allow for straightforward tightening with standard hand tools without requiring additional hardware.

Key Features

• Plastic coating protects pipe surface from abrasion and reduces metal-to-pipe contact
• Sized for 6-inch IPS pipe for larger-diameter support applications
• Includes hex nuts for complete, ready-to-install assembly
• Standard U-bolt geometry fits common pipe hanger and strut support configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit component for 6-inch IPS pipe support applications in residential and commercial mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system flow and depressurize the line before repositioning or replacing pipe supports. Tighten hex nuts evenly to avoid canting the U-bolt against the pipe. Pipe support spacing and fastener requirements should comply with applicable IPC or local mechanical code provisions.
