Value Collection U250T1 Round U-bolt 2-1/2 in Pipe Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION U250T1 is a round U-bolt with a clamping mount configuration, designed to secure pipe to a surface or structural support. It is manufactured from C-1018 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The thread size is 3/8-16 UNC with a thread length of 1.5 inches, and the inside width measures 2.67 inches to fit 2-1/2 inch pipe. The overall length is 4.05 inches. Each unit includes two serrated flange nuts, providing a complete fastening assembly out of the package. This hardware is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors securing pipe runs in both residential and commercial applications.

This U-bolt is suited for use in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC pipe support applications where a 2-1/2 inch pipe requires a fixed clamping mount. It is appropriate for use with rigid pipe runs on unistrut, structural steel, wood framing, or other mounting surfaces. The round bend profile conforms closely to the pipe OD, distributing clamping load evenly around the pipe. The included serrated flange nuts eliminate the need for separate lock washers and resist loosening under vibration, making this hardware a practical choice for mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment, and in-wall or below-slab pipe support installations.

Key Features

• Round bend profile sized for 2-1/2 inch pipe with 2.67 inch inside width
• 3/8-16 UNC thread with 1.5 inch thread length for standard nut engagement
• C-1018 steel construction, Grade 2 rated hardware
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor use
• Includes two serrated flange nuts for a complete, vibration-resistant clamping assembly
• Clamping mount configuration for direct attachment to flat structural surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style clamping support for 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC pipe support applications using standard UNC fastener systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC mechanics. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before adjusting or repositioning any pipe support hardware. Use a properly sized wrench to tighten the included serrated flange nuts evenly on both legs of the U-bolt to avoid cocking the bend against the pipe. Follow applicable mechanical codes such as the IPC or IFGC for required pipe support spacing and hanger specifications.
