Value Collection 38768 Round U-bolt 3/8-16 Unc 3/4 Inch Pipe 2 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38768 is a round U-bolt designed for securing 3/4 inch pipe in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping applications. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 1-1/4 inch thread length and an overall length of 2-1/4 inches. Constructed from C-1010 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this U-bolt is sold without a mount plate and ships as a 2-piece pack, each piece including two hex nuts. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of protection in dry or mildly humid service environments typical of indoor mechanical rooms and utility spaces.

This U-bolt is suited for residential and light commercial installations where 3/4 inch pipe runs require a secure loop-style fastener. Common applications include securing copper, black iron, or CPVC pipe to framing, strut channel, and structural supports in HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration piping systems. The included nuts allow immediate assembly without sourcing additional hardware. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians will find this a straightforward stock item for standard pipe-hanging tasks.

Key Features

• Round U-bolt profile sized for 3/4 inch pipe
• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard hex nuts and strut hardware
• 1-1/4 inch thread length provides adequate engagement depth for secure fastening
• C-1010 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Includes two hex nuts per U-bolt — no additional hardware required
• Sold without mount plate, suitable for use with strut channel or custom backing plate installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fastener for 3/4 inch pipe in standard inch-measurement piping systems. Intended for use in installations following IPC and IFGC pipe support requirements where a round U-bolt style fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician as part of a pipe support system. Shut off and depressurize the pipe section before making any modifications to the support structure. Torque nuts evenly to ensure uniform clamping without deforming the pipe. Verify that the zinc-plated finish is appropriate for the service environment, as this coating is not rated for outdoor or highly corrosive conditions without additional protection.
