Product Description

The NATIONAL MARKER N222174 is a zinc-plated round U bolt designed for hanging and fastening applications across a wide range of trades. Measuring 5/16 inches in diameter with a 2-inch inside width and 4-1/2 inches in length, this U bolt is built for reliable clamping and support. The zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use. Each unit ships with plate and hex nuts included, making installation straightforward for HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors working with pipe or structural supports.

This U bolt is suited for securing pipe, conduit, wood, and similar materials in residential and light commercial settings. Common applications include pipe hangers, conduit supports, and fastening assemblies in automotive, plumbing, and general industrial environments. The round bend profile distributes clamping load evenly around the pipe or support surface. Pipe sizes referenced are based on inside diameters of standard pipe, making it easy to match the bolt to the correct nominal pipe size.
