Manufactured from C-1010 steel with a hot galvanized finish, this fastener resists corrosion in exposed or damp environments. The 1\/4-20 UNC thread size with a 1-1\/4 inch thread length provides sufficient engagement for standard nuts, and the package includes two nuts for immediate installation. At 2-3\/4 inches in overall length and 1 inch in width, the GIB53017 fits standard pipe support applications across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of hardware routinely on pipe runs in both new construction and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis U-bolt is suited for supporting or clamping half-inch pipe in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. Typical applications include securing water supply lines, refrigerant lines, gas distribution piping, and HVAC copper or steel pipe runs to joists, strut channel, or framing members. The absence of a mount plate keeps the assembly low-profile where clearance is limited or where the installer supplies their own backing hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound U-bolt shape for uniform clamping around half-inch pipe OD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread standard for compatibility with widely available hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch thread length provides solid nut engagement under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor-adjacent installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC-1010 steel construction for reliable tensile strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes two nuts — ready to install out of the package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with half-inch nominal pipe and is sold without a mount plate, intended for installations where the installer provides separate backing or mounts directly to strut and structural framing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors following applicable IPC or IFGC pipe support spacing requirements. Ensure the pipe is properly supported and aligned before tightening the nuts evenly on both threaded legs to avoid cocking the bolt. Do not overtighten, as excessive force can deform the pipe wall, particularly on copper or thin-wall tubing. Verify that the hot galvanized finish is compatible with the pipe material and any dissimilar-metal contact requirements at the install location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Without Mount Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C-1010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 Nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIB53017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716437803314,"sku":"GIB53017","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/90bc561330d02f63f1193362eb7bc30f.jpg?v=1788526075","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-gib53017-round-u-bolt-1-4-20-unc-1-2-inch-pipe-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
