Manufactured from C1010 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, it resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor installations. The bolt features a 3\/8-16 UNC thread standard with a 1-1\/4-inch thread length, providing solid engagement with standard hex nuts. Each unit ships with two nuts included, so the installer has everything needed to complete the pipe clamp assembly without sourcing separate hardware. At 0.18 pounds, this is a lightweight but structurally solid fastener suited for small-diameter pipe runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis U-bolt is used to anchor 1\/2-inch nominal pipe to structural supports such as strut channel, framing members, or threaded rod hangers in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. Common applications include copper, steel, and PVC pipe runs in plumbing rough-in, HVAC refrigerant line support, and conduit anchoring where a round-profile clamp without a mount plate is required. The without-mount-plate configuration is typical where the installer is threading directly onto a backing nut or welded stud rather than using a flat saddle plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound profile sized for 1\/2-inch nominal pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread with 1-1\/4-inch thread length for secure fastener engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dipped galvanized finish on C1010 steel for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWithout mount plate — installs directly to strut, rod, or backing hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes two hex nuts — no additional hardware required for standard installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.18 pounds for easy handling in overhead or tight-space work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style pipe support fastener for 1\/2-inch nominal pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems using inch-standard hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians. Shut off the relevant system and depressurize the line before positioning pipe support hardware. Thread the included nuts onto both legs of the U-bolt evenly to avoid canting the pipe off center. Follow applicable codes such as IPC or IFGC for pipe support spacing intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\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\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/4 inches\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: C1010\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot-Dipped 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: 0.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: GIB53074\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692783239474,"sku":"GIB53074","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/882ee96c8f750bc437fcb75a9f214800.jpg?v=1788302819","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-gib53074-round-u-bolt-3-8-16-unc-for-1-2-in-pipe","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
