Value Collection 38775 Round U-bolt 1/2-13 Unc 2-1/2 in Pipe 2 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38775 is a round U-bolt designed to secure 2-1/2 inch pipe to structural supports, strut channel, or framing members. Made from C-1010 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener uses a 1/2-13 UNC thread with a 1-5/8 inch thread length and an overall length of 4-1/2 inches. It ships without a mount plate, making it suitable for use with separately sourced backplates or strut hardware. Each package includes two U-bolts and two nuts. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC installers, and mechanical contractors use this type of hardware for pipe hanging and restraint applications in both new construction and retrofit work.

This U-bolt is used in residential and commercial mechanical installations where 2-1/2 inch pipe runs require secure, code-compliant support. Typical applications include domestic water supply, drain and vent lines, hydronic piping, refrigerant suction line support, and conduit bundling. The zinc-plated steel construction suits indoor and mildly corrosive environments. The package quantity of two makes it practical for single-support installations or paired applications where back-to-back anchoring is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pipe support fastener for 2-1/2 inch pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems requiring 1/2-13 UNC hardware without a mount plate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC mechanics in accordance with the applicable mechanical code such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before adjusting or repositioning any pipe support hardware. Verify that the support spacing and fastener engagement meet the project specifications and local code requirements. Do not overtighten the nuts in a way that deforms the pipe wall; snug plus a controlled turn is standard practice for U-bolt pipe clamp installation.
