National Hardware N222-562 Zinc U-bolt Fastener

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N222-562 is a zinc-plated U-bolt designed for hanging and fastening applications across a wide range of trade and industrial uses. The U-bolt configuration provides a secure, two-point grip around pipe, wood, or similar materials, making it a dependable mechanical fastener where reliable clamping force is required. A mounting plate and hex nuts are included, giving installers everything needed to complete the connection without sourcing additional hardware. At approximately 0.18 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fastener suited for both field and shop work.

This U-bolt is intended for use in plumbing pipe support, automotive component mounting, and general industrial or residential fastening tasks. It is well suited for securing runs of pipe or conduit to structural members, hanging assemblies from overhead supports, or anchoring components in tight spaces where a standard bolt pattern is not practical. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance technicians commonly stock U-bolts of this type for routine fastening and support work.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools; ensure the mounting surface can bear the intended load before securing the U-bolt assembly. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC when using U-bolts for pipe support to confirm correct spacing and support intervals. Do not overtighten hex nuts on plastic or soft pipe materials, as excessive clamping force can deform or damage the pipe wall. Shut off and depressurize any pipe system before adding or adjusting support hardware.
