bolts, nuts, Pins & U-Bolts

Fig. 137: Standard U-bolt U-Bolts

Fig. 137S*: Special U-bolt (non-standard)

Size Range: 1⁄2" through 36"
Material: Carbon steel U-bolt and four finished hex nuts
Finish: Plain or Galvanized
Service: Recommended for support, or guide of heavy loads;
often employed in power, process plant and marine service.
Approvals: Complies with Federal Specification A-A-1192A (Type 24),
WW-H-171-E (Type 24), ANSI/MSS SP-69 and MSS SP-58 (Type 24).
Ordering Fig. 137: Specify pipe size x rod size (e.g., 6 x 5⁄8), figure number, name.
U-bolt will be furnished with longer tangents D or with longer threads E
if so required and ordered. If hex nuts are not required, specify “without hex nuts”.
Ordering Fig. 137S: Specify figure number, name, material specification, dimensions
A, B, C, D, and E, and “with hex nuts” or “without hex nuts”.
Note: The acceptability of galvanized coatings at temperatures above 450°F
is at the discretion of the end user
