In the construction industry, as well as in fabrication, different types of fasteners can be an ideal match for the job. With a variety of both standard and custom designs and options, it is possible to find the right fastener for the job without having to try to make do with something that is not as effective, easy or dependable.
There are many different uses for round U bolts in construction as well as different types of fabrication and processing. These bolts are very distinctive because of their shape.
They include two parallel threaded legs connected by a round, unthreaded section of the bolt. This round shape perfectly fits to round components such as tubes, pipes, round bar or other types of structural frames.
Since the shape is round, it holds round pipes, tubes or bars in place securely and without wiggle or movement as would be found with standard bolts or trying to use two bolts and clamp.
Hanging Pipe or Tubing
Plumbers and even electricians often use round U bolts to secure pipe or tubing. Pipe is used to transport liquids in plumbing systems and tubing can be used to run cable or wires for additional protection. By using the U bolts, it is easy to secure pipe or tubes on horizontal or vertical runs.
Securing Poles or Structural Frames
For trailers, building components and for fabrication of equipment or structural systems such as racks, storage areas or even systems in plants and manufacturing areas, these U bolts provide a durable, strong and lasting way to keep tubing and pipe in place.
They can even be used outside to support tower structures, antennas and flagpoles or other types of poles on buildings, trailers or other types of structures. By choosing stainless steel or treated round U bolts they can be extremely resistant to corrosion or damage in any type of environment.
