Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 701 1/2STR is a steel pipe and tube clamp designed for securing 1/2-inch nominal pipe or tube in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical support applications. Manufactured from 16-gauge steel with a gold galvanized finish, this clamp provides a rated load capacity of 650 pounds. It is used to fasten pipe or conduit to strut channel framing systems, making it a standard component in commercial and industrial mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and overhead support assemblies. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this clamp as part of engineered pipe support systems.

This clamp is suited for use with 1/2-inch nominal pipe or tube in both light commercial and industrial settings. It fits standard strut channel framing systems and is compatible with Unistrut and B-Line channel support systems, referenced by Unistrut part number P2026 and B-Line part number B2025. Typical applications include HVAC piping, plumbing branch lines, conduit runs, and general mechanical pipe support where a secure, corrosion-resistant fastening point is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors as part of a pipe support assembly. Ensure the strut channel and all fasteners are rated to handle the intended load before securing pipe. Follow applicable mechanical codes and engineered support spacing requirements for the pipe type and fluid service involved. Inspect the galvanized coating for damage before installation in wet or corrosive environments.
