Nvent NVENT-USC068BR Universal Strut Clamp Copper Tube

Product Description

The NVENT NVENT-USC068BR is a universal strut clamp designed to secure copper tube to standard strut channel in mechanical and plumbing installations. Built from 12-gauge steel with a polyester finish, it accommodates copper tube with an outer diameter ranging from 2.6 inches to 2.72 inches, corresponding to 2-1/2-inch nominal copper tube size. The clamp delivers a static load rating of 850 pounds, making it suitable for overhead and lateral pipe support applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this hardware as part of suspended or wall-mounted piping systems where reliable strut-based support is required.

This clamp is used in residential and commercial mechanical systems wherever 2-1/2-inch copper tube must be supported from strut channel. Typical applications include hydronic heating and cooling piping, refrigeration suction lines, and domestic water distribution mains. It fits standard 1-5/8-inch strut channel and is well-suited for suspended ceiling installations, equipment rooms, and utility corridors where pipe loads and vibration must be managed at the support point.

Key Features

• Accepts copper tube OD range of 2.6 inches to 2.72 inches for a secure fit on 2-1/2-inch nominal copper
• 12-gauge steel construction provides structural rigidity and resistance to deformation under load
• Polyester finish offers corrosion resistance in interior mechanical environments
• 850-pound static load rating supports demanding overhead piping applications
• 1-1/4-inch width provides stable bearing contact along the tube surface
• Universal strut clamp design mounts directly to standard strut channel without additional hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit strut clamp for 2-1/2-inch nominal copper tube supported on standard strut channel systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC support spacing requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before adjusting or repositioning any pipe supports. Verify that the strut channel is properly anchored to structure before applying load to the clamp. Do not exceed the rated static load of the clamp or the rated capacity of the supporting strut and fastener assembly.
