FAQs

What material are these U-bolts made from?

They are made from high-grade, zinc-plated passivated steel for durability and corrosion resistance.

What is the maximum and minimum diameter of a pole this U-bolt can secure?

The U-bolts are designed for poles with a minimum diameter of 80mm and a maximum diameter of 90mm.

Are nuts included with the U-bolts?

Yes, nuts are supplied with the U-bolts as pictured.

Can these U-bolts be used for external installations?

Yes, they are specifically suitable for external installations due to their zinc-plated steel construction.

What is the thread diameter and length?

The thread diameter is 12mm, and the length of the thread is 40mm.

How many U-bolts are in a pack?

This pack contains 10 U-bolts.

Troubleshooting

U-bolt does not fit pole/pipe

Verify the diameter of the pole/pipe. These U-bolts are designed for 80-90mm diameters. If outside this range, a different size U-bolt is required.

Nuts are difficult to thread

Ensure the threads on the U-bolt and nuts are clean and free from debris. Check that the U-bolt is centered on the pole/pipe and not under uneven stress.

Insufficient holding power

Ensure nuts are tightened sufficiently and evenly. Check that the mounting surface is robust enough to support the load. Verify the U-bolt diameter is correctly matched to the item being secured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Corrosion-resistant due to zinc plating, ideal for outdoor applications.
Heavy-duty construction ensures a secure and reliable hold.
Precisely sized for poles/pipes within the 80-90mm diameter range.
Supplied with nuts for immediate use.

Cons

Limited to a specific diameter range (80-90mm), not suitable for smaller or larger items.
Primarily designed for cylindrical objects; may not be suitable for all shapes.
Installation may require appropriate tools for tightening nuts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Place the U-bolt around the pipe or pole.
Position the U-bolt against the mounting bracket, wall, or surface.
Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt's ends by hand until snug.
Use appropriate wrenches to tighten the nuts evenly on both sides until the pipe/pole is securely fastened. Ensure not to overtighten, which could damage the pipe or mounting surface.

Compatibility:

Compatible with cylindrical objects ranging from 80mm to 90mm in diameter.
Suitable for mounting to flat surfaces, brackets, or other rigid structures.

Care:

While the zinc plating offers corrosion resistance, regular inspection is recommended for critical installations. Clean any dirt or debris with a damp cloth. For extremely harsh environments, periodic re-application of a suitable lubricant or protective coating may extend lifespan.
