Value Collection A996050 Round U-bolt 3/8-16 Unc 1/2 in Pipe 5pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996050 is a round U-bolt designed for securing 1/2-inch pipe in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping applications. Built from C-1010 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener uses a 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 1-1/4-inch thread length and an overall length of 2-1/4 inches. The round profile conforms closely to pipe for a secure hold. Each unit ships without a mount plate and includes two hex nuts, giving installers everything needed to fasten directly to structural supports or unistrut in one package. The package contains 5 U-bolts.

This U-bolt is suited for residential and light commercial pipe-hanging applications where 1/2-inch pipe needs to be anchored to structural members, hangers, or backing plates. Common install scenarios include copper and steel water supply lines, refrigerant line sets, conduit runs, and small-diameter HVAC piping. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors. The zinc-plated steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and protected outdoor environments where moderate corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• Round shape for close, secure fit around 1/2-inch pipe
• 3/8-16 UNC threaded legs with 1-1/4-inch thread length
• C-1010 steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Includes two hex nuts per U-bolt — no additional hardware required
• Sold without mount plate for use with existing backing or unistrut
• Pack of 5 units for multi-point installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch pipe in standard mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC pipe-hanging applications where a 3/8-16 UNC round U-bolt without a mount plate is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC support-spacing requirements. Shut off the relevant system and depressurize lines before positioning hangers when working on active piping. Use appropriate backing, strut channel, or structural steel that is rated for the load. Do not over-torque the nuts, as this can deform the pipe or the U-bolt legs.
