Value Collection A996065 U-bolt 2-1/2 Inch Pipe SS304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996065 is a stainless steel U-bolt designed to secure 2-1/2 inch pipe in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping installations. Manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this U-bolt offers corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments. The 1 inch width provides a solid bearing surface against the pipe wall. Each package includes 2 U-bolts, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple support points along a run. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics commonly install this type of hardware as part of pipe support and hanger assemblies.

This U-bolt fits 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe and is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where stainless hardware is required for corrosion resistance or hygiene compliance. Typical applications include pipe support runs in mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment, and exposed exterior installations where carbon steel hardware would be prone to rust. The bright uncoated finish keeps the material grade visible for inspection purposes.

Key Features

• Grade 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Sized for 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe
• 1 inch width for stable pipe contact and load distribution
• Bright, uncoated finish — material grade remains visually identifiable
• Sold in a 2-pack per package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard U-bolt for use with 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe in pipe support and hanger assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with IPC and IFGC support spacing requirements. Power down or depressurize any active line before modifying pipe support hardware. Use appropriately rated nuts and washers rated for stainless steel fastener systems to avoid galvanic incompatibility. Do not overtighten — U-bolts should secure the pipe firmly without deforming the pipe wall.
