Gibraltar GIB53260 Round U-bolt 5/8-11 Unc for 6 Inches Pipe

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GIB53260 is a round U-bolt designed for securing 6-inch pipe in mechanical, plumbing, and industrial piping installations. Manufactured from C-1010 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this U-bolt features a 5/8-11 UNC thread with a 3-3/4 inch thread length and an overall length of 9-1/2 inches. The 6-3/4 inch width accommodates standard 6-inch pipe outside diameter. Four nuts are included. This hardware is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors where dependable pipe support is required.

This U-bolt is suited for pipe support and restraint applications on 6-inch pipe in residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical installations include pipe hanging, pipe rack attachment, and pipe support bracketing in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical piping systems. It ships without a mount plate, making it compatible with field-supplied strut channel, threaded rod, or structural mounting hardware as the application requires.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors following applicable IPC and IFGC pipe support spacing requirements. Shut off the system and relieve pressure before modifying any pipe support on active lines. Use appropriate hand tools and a torque wrench to achieve uniform nut seating without over-stressing the threaded section. Verify that the mounting substrate and support structure are rated for the intended pipe load before fastening.
