Manufactured from C-1010 steel with a hot-galvanized finish, it resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor service environments. The U-bolt features 5\/16-18 UNC threading with a 1-3\/8-inch thread length and an overall length of 2-3\/16 inches. It ships without a mount plate and includes two nuts, making it ready for use with a separately sourced mounting surface. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this fastener for pipe support and restraint applications where a standard round U-bolt profile is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis U-bolt is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where 1\/2-inch pipe runs require secure mechanical attachment to framing, strut channel, or structural members. It is commonly installed during rough-in work on copper, steel, or similarly sized pipe. The hot-galvanized coating makes it appropriate for damp or exposed locations where bare steel fasteners would be at risk of surface corrosion. No mount plate is included, so a compatible plate or strut fitting must be provided at installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound U-bolt profile sized for 1\/2-inch pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread with 1-3\/8-inch thread length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC-1010 steel construction with hot-galvanized corrosion-resistant finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes two nuts — no additional hardware required for basic assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold without a mount plate for use with existing strut or mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 2-3\/16 inches for consistent fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard round U-bolt replacement or new-installation fastener for 1\/2-inch pipe support applications using inch-measurement hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians as part of pipe support work. Shut off the relevant system and depressurize the line before securing or repositioning any pipe restraints. Torque the included nuts evenly to avoid misalignment or distortion of the U-bolt saddle. Follow applicable mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC guidelines, for pipe support spacing and fastener requirements.\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\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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\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\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Without Mount Plate\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: 0.11 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: GIB53038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691209392434,"sku":"GIB53038","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/49810baf4dd63ff01f9d78b85acbfe21.jpg?v=1788281574","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-gib53038-round-u-bolt-5-16-18-unc-1-2-inch-pipe","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
