Value Collection 38764 Round U-bolt 5/16-18 Unc 1-1/2 in Pipe

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38764 is a round U-bolt designed to secure 1-1/2 inch pipe to structural supports in plumbing, mechanical, and general piping installations. Constructed from C-1010 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this U-bolt resists corrosion in typical indoor service environments. The fastener uses a 5/16-18 UNC thread with a 1 inch thread length and an overall length of 2-11/16 inches and a width of 2 inches. Each package includes two hex nuts, allowing for immediate installation without sourcing additional hardware. Sold in a package quantity of five, this U-bolt suits contractors and service technicians who need reliable pipe support hardware in volume.

This U-bolt is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where 1-1/2 inch pipe runs require anchoring to structural members, strut channel, or unistrut. Common applications include water supply lines, drain lines, compressed air runs, and general mechanical piping. The without-mount-plate configuration requires a pre-drilled hole or compatible strut fitting in the mounting surface. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically stock this fastener for routine new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Round U-bolt profile sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe outside diameter
• 5/16-18 UNC thread standard with 1 inch thread length for positive nut engagement
• C-1010 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in typical service conditions
• Includes two hex nuts per U-bolt for complete fastening without additional hardware
• Without-mount-plate design for use with strut channel, unistrut, or pre-drilled structural supports
• Package quantity of five for efficient stocking and multi-point pipe support installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe and compatible with standard strut channel and unistrut mounting systems that accept a 5/16-18 UNC fastener without a mount plate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors following applicable IPC and IFGC support spacing requirements for the pipe material and fluid carried. Power down or shut off the relevant system before adjusting or replacing existing pipe supports. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally adequate for the load before tightening the nuts. Do not over-torque the nuts against plastic or thin-wall pipe without appropriate cushion inserts.
