Value Collection 38772 Round U-bolt 3/8-16 Unc 2 in Pipe

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38772 is a round U-bolt designed to secure 2-inch pipe to structural supports in plumbing, mechanical, and general trade applications. Manufactured from C-1010 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty exposed installations. The fastener uses a 3/8-16 UNC thread standard with a 1-1/4 inch thread length, and measures 2-1/2 inches wide and 3-1/8 inches long. Each package includes two U-bolts and four nuts, making it a ready-to-install solution. No mount plate is included. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals install this type of hardware during pipe hanger and support work.

This U-bolt is suited for securing 2-inch nominal pipe runs in residential and light commercial mechanical systems, including HVAC piping, plumbing supply and drain lines, and general conduit or tubing support. The round bend profile conforms to the pipe OD without deforming it under standard torque. Typical installation scenarios include ceiling hangers, wall brackets, and structural beam attachments where a through-bolt or threaded-rod anchor is used to support the pipe run.

Key Features

• Round bend profile sized for 2-inch nominal pipe
• 3/8-16 UNC thread with 1-1/4 inch thread length for standard nut engagement

• Includes two nuts per U-bolt for immediate use
• Sold as a pack of 2 complete U-bolt assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with 2-inch nominal pipe and compatible with standard 3/8-16 UNC threaded rod or bracket hardware commonly used in pipe support and hanger assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors following applicable IPC and IFGC support spacing requirements for the pipe type and size. Ensure the supporting structure is rated for the pipe load before fastening. Thread the included nuts onto both legs of the U-bolt evenly to avoid cocking the bolt and damaging the pipe surface. Do not over-torque — snug and evenly seated is the correct target for steel pipe support hardware.
