Value Collection U500T2 Round U-bolt 5 Inch Pipe 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION U500T2 is a round U-bolt with a clamping and guillotine mount configuration, designed for securing 5-inch pipe to structural supports. Manufactured from C-1018 steel with a chrome-plated finish, the bolt provides corrosion resistance in typical mechanical and plumbing installations. The 3/8-16 UNC thread runs 1-1/2 inches in length and ships with two serrated flange nuts, giving the installer everything needed to complete the clamp assembly without sourcing separate hardware. Total package weight is 1.24 pounds. This fastener is sized at 5-1/2 inches in width to fit the target pipe diameter. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This U-bolt is suited for pipe support and restraint applications where a clamping or guillotine-style mount is required. The round bend profile seats cleanly against round pipe and tube, making it appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant or drain line support, and general mechanical piping systems. The included serrated flange nuts are self-retaining under vibration, which is an advantage in mechanical rooms or equipment pads where pipe movement is a factor.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation U-bolt for 5-inch round pipe support applications in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC support-spacing requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe line before repositioning any clamp or support hardware. Use a calibrated torque wrench and tighten the serrated flange nuts evenly to avoid cocking the U-bolt on the pipe. Do not overtighten to the point of deforming the pipe wall, particularly on plastic-lined or thin-wall pipe assemblies.
