Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct U Bolt is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts requiring a heavy-duty mounting solution for pipes and tubes in marine or industrial environments. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-strength structural integrity and a zinc-plated finish that resists environmental degradation, though users should note that zinc plating may eventually require replacement in highly corrosive, direct-seawater-submerged conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this bolt be used outdoors?

Yes, the zinc-plated finish provides necessary protection against outdoor weather conditions.

What is the diameter of the bolt itself?

The bolt diameter is 12mm.

Does this product come with the required nuts?

Yes, each U Bolt includes two hex nuts as standard.

Will this fit a 100mm pipe?

Yes, it is designed for a nominal pipe bore of 100mm.

Is the bolt long enough for my application?

The bolt length is 115mm. Ensure your mounting surface thickness allows for this length.

Is this bolt suitable for underwater use?

While zinc plating offers good protection, it is not designed for permanent submersion in saltwater; frequent inspection is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Nut is difficult to thread onto the bolt

Check the threads for debris or paint residue. Clean the threads with a wire brush to ensure a smooth fit.

Vibration causing nuts to loosen

Consider using a secondary locking washer or a thread-locking compound designed for metal-on-metal applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 12mm thick steel construction
  • Corrosion-resistant zinc-plated surface
  • Includes essential hardware for immediate use
  • Standardized fit for 100mm piping

Cons

  • Not suitable for highly acidic environments
  • Zinc plating may wear down over long-term direct saltwater exposure
  • Specific to 100mm pipe bore sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a wrench sized for the hex nuts to ensure a snug fit without over-torquing, which could potentially strip the threads. Ensure that the pipe diameter matches the 100mm nominal bore for optimal clearance. To maintain the integrity of the zinc coating, avoid using abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool. If the bolt is used in a high-moisture environment, periodically check the hex nuts for signs of loosening due to thermal expansion or mechanical vibration. Applying a light layer of marine-grade grease to the threads can further assist in preventing oxidation over long periods.
