Value Collection 38759 Round U-bolt 1/2 Inch Pipe 5/16-18 Unc 5-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38759 is a round U-bolt designed to secure half-inch pipe to structural supports in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping systems. Manufactured from C1010 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in typical indoor service environments. The 5/16-18 UNC thread pattern provides a standard coarse-thread engagement, and the 1-3/8 inch thread length gives adequate nut travel for securing against varying substrate thicknesses. Each U-bolt ships with two hex nuts included. This item is sold in a package quantity of five, making it practical for service calls or small installations requiring multiple pipe attachment points.

This U-bolt is suited for residential and light commercial applications where half-inch pipe runs require support at regular intervals. Common install scenarios include copper or iron pipe hangers in HVAC refrigerant line routing, domestic water supply runs, and general mechanical room piping. The round bend profile conforms to the pipe OD without pinching. The without-mount-plate configuration is used when attaching directly to threaded rod, unistrut, or similar support framing using the supplied nuts. Width across the inside of the bend is 1 inch, matching standard half-inch nominal pipe OD clearance.

Key Features

• C1010 steel construction with zinc plating for corrosion resistance in typical service environments
• 5/16-18 UNC coarse-thread pattern for reliable nut engagement
• 1-3/8 inch thread length accommodates varying support member thicknesses
• Round bend profile sized for 1/2 inch nominal pipe
• Includes two hex nuts per U-bolt
• Sold in a pack of 5 for multi-point installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch nominal pipe in standard pipe support and hanger applications. No mount plate is included; the fastener is intended for use with threaded rod, channel strut, or equivalent support framing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Ensure the support structure is rated for the pipe load before securing. Thread both supplied nuts fully onto the U-bolt legs and tighten evenly to avoid canting the pipe. Do not over-torque on copper or plastic-lined pipe assemblies; follow the applicable code for pipe support spacing and hanger material requirements.
