National Mfg N244-996 Square U-bolt 3/8x3-5/8x4 in Zinc 5 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N244-996 is a zinc-plated square U-bolt packaged with plate and hex nuts attached, sized for lumber applications. Measuring 3/8 inch rod diameter by 3-5/8 inches wide by 4 inches in length, this hardware is designed to secure various products to rectangular wood or metal objects. The square bend profile seats flush against flat and rectangular stock, making it a reliable mechanical fastener for structural and utility mounting tasks. It is installed by contractors, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need a complete, ready-to-assemble U-bolt assembly without sourcing separate hardware.

This U-bolt is suited for lumber-size applications, meaning the inner width accommodates standard rectangular wood framing members or similarly dimensioned metal stock. It ships in a boxed loose pack of 5 units, making it practical for job-site use where multiple fastening points are required. Typical applications include pipe and conduit support bracketing, equipment mounting to wood framing, and structural tie-down work in residential and light commercial construction or renovation projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by general contractors, electricians, or plumbers during framing, pipe support, or equipment mounting work. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical systems before working in confined spaces. Use appropriately sized wrenches to tighten the included hex nuts evenly to prevent distortion of the plate or bend. Follow applicable building codes and fastener manufacturer torque guidance for the specific substrate and load requirement.
