The SecureFix Direct Zinc Plated U Bolt is an essential hardware component designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working on marine or industrial piping and tubing installations. This robust U bolt provides a strong, reliable clamping force to keep structures stable and secure. While its zinc plating offers good resistance to oxidation, users in highly corrosive or saltwater environments should monitor the hardware for long-term wear.

This U bolt is compatible with pipes having a nominal bore of 150mm.
Yes, each U bolt comes complete with two hex nuts included.
While the zinc plating offers some protection, it is generally recommended to use stainless steel hardware for direct saltwater exposure to prevent long-term corrosion.
The dimensions are 170mm (A), 200mm (B), 48mm (C), and 12mm (D).
Yes, the zinc plating provides a protective barrier, though environmental factors will dictate how long it remains effective before requiring maintenance.
You should use a wrench that matches the standard hex nut sizing for 12mm diameter bolts.
Check the threads for any debris or metal shavings; ensure the nut is perfectly square to the bolt before turning.
Ensure that both hex nuts are tightened down firmly; consider adding a secondary lock washer if the application is subject to intense vibration.
This is common with zinc plating; gently clean with a wire brush and apply a protective rust-inhibiting coating to the affected area.
For proper setup, ensure the pipe or tube diameter matches the nominal bore of 150mm. Use a properly sized wrench to tighten the provided hex nuts, taking care not to over-torque the bolt, which can cause thread stripping. Compatibility is best maintained when paired with other zinc-plated or steel hardware to prevent galvanic corrosion. For care and maintenance, inspect the threads periodically for signs of debris or oxidation. If installed in damp areas, applying a thin layer of specialized anti-corrosion spray or grease can significantly extend the lifespan of the zinc finish.
