Gibraltar GIB53614 Round U-bolt 1/2 in Pipe Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GIB53614 is a round U-bolt with a mount plate designed to secure 1/2-inch pipe in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping applications. Manufactured from C-1010 steel with a hot galvanized finish, this U-bolt resists corrosion in typical installation environments. The 1/4-20 UNC thread with a 1-inch thread length accepts standard hex nuts, and two nuts are included. At 0.09 pounds, it is a lightweight fastener suited for high-volume installations where consistent, code-compliant pipe support is required. Licensed tradespeople including plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics rely on components like this for structurally sound pipe runs.

The GIB53614 is used to support 1/2-inch nominal pipe in residential and light commercial installations. Typical applications include securing copper, CPVC, galvanized, or black iron pipe to framing members, strut channel, or structural surfaces. The integrated mount plate distributes load and simplifies attachment without requiring a separate backing plate. This U-bolt is appropriate for horizontal and vertical pipe runs where a low-profile, rigid support is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pipe support fitting for 1/2-inch nominal pipe in standard inch-measurement piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of pipe support hardware is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC mechanics in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or International Mechanical Code. Power down or isolate any pressurized or energized lines before securing or repositioning pipe. Ensure the mounting surface can bear the load of the pipe, fluid, and insulation combined. Do not overtighten the nuts against the mount plate in a way that deforms or stresses the pipe wall.
