National Marker N244996 Zinc Square U Bolt 3/8 X 3-5/8 X 4 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MARKER N244996 is a zinc-plated square U bolt designed for securing various products to rectangular wood and metal objects. Manufactured from steel wire with a zinc finish, this fastener measures 3/8 inch in diameter, 3-5/8 inches in width, and 4 inches in length. It ships as a complete assembly that includes a plate and two hex nuts, reducing the need for separate hardware sourcing. Plumbers, electricians, and general contractors use square U bolts like this one to anchor pipe, conduit, or structural members to wood framing or metal supports in both residential and light commercial applications.

This U bolt is suited for installations where a square bend profile provides better contact and clamping force against rectangular stock compared to a round-bend design. Typical use cases include securing pipe runs to wood joists or metal strut, fastening conduit to rectangular backing plates, and general-purpose anchoring tasks in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and framing assemblies. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance suitable for dry and moderately humid indoor environments.

Key Features

• Square U bolt profile for flush contact against rectangular wood and metal surfaces
• Zinc-plated steel wire construction for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Complete assembly includes mounting plate and two hex nuts
• 3/8 inch diameter rod with 3-5/8 inch inside width and 4 inch leg length
• Sold individually with all hardware included — no separate nut or plate purchase required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for securing pipe, conduit, or structural members to rectangular wood and metal objects in general mechanical and construction applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, electricians, or general trades using standard hand tools and wrenches. Always de-energize circuits and relieve system pressure before securing conduit or pipe runs. Tighten hex nuts evenly to ensure uniform clamping without distorting the U bolt legs. Follow applicable NEC or IPC guidelines for fastener spacing and support intervals.
