U Bolt

Product Description

A U-bolt is a type of bolt that has a "U" shape and is primarily used to secure pipes, cables, or other cylindrical objects to a surface or another object. It consists of a curved metal rod (shaped like the letter "U") with two threaded ends. These threaded ends allow nuts to be fastened onto them, securing the U-bolt in place. U-bolts come in various sizes and materials, depending on the application, and are commonly used in industries like construction, automotive, and plumbing.

Key features of a U-bolt:

• Shape: The bolt forms a U-shape, which can hold objects that need to be mounted or supported.
• Material: U-bolts are made from materials like steel, or galvanized steel to ensure strength and corrosion resistance.
• Threads: Both legs of the "U" are threaded, allowing nuts to be fastened for secure attachment.
• Usage: U-bolts are often used for mounting pipes, securing cables, supporting structural components, and even in automotive applications for attaching suspension parts.

Applications:

• Piping systems: Used to attach pipes to walls or other structures.
• Automotive: Often found in suspension systems, particularly for securing parts of the axle.
• Construction: Common in steel framing or structural supports.
• Marine: Used to secure parts in boats, as they are resistant to corrosion when made from Mild steel.

They are versatile and can be customized in terms of size, material, and design depending on the specific needs of the job.
