U Bolt with One Plate and Double Nuts.
A U-bolt with one plate and double nuts is a standard hardware kit used to securely anchor, clamp, or support piping, conduit, and structural components. The design utilizes a continuous U-shaped piece with threads on both ends, allowing a single backing plate to slip over both legs and lock down tightly with two matching hex nuts.
Key Components
U-Bolt: A single metal rod bent into a "U" shape with machine threads on both ends.
Backing Plate (Tie/Frame Plate): A flat metal strap with two holes that bridges the legs. It evenly distributes clamping force and prevents the U-bolt from crushing or biting directly into the mounting surface.
Double Nuts: Two matching hexagonal nuts (one per leg) to tighten and secure the assembly against the backing plate.
Common Variations & Material Options
When purchasing or manufacturing these assemblies, you will typically choose based on application environment and structural shape:
Bend Shapes:
Round Bend: Best for securing cylindrical items like pipes, tubing, or round trailer axles.
Square/Box Bend: Ideal for clamping onto square objects like timber beams, vehicle chassis, or square trailer frames.
Common Materials:304/316 Stainless Steel: Offers premium rust and corrosion protection, highly recommended for marine, industrial, or outdoor use.
Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel: A highly economical option for indoor plumbing, automotive, or residential applications.
Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel: Provides a thick, rugged layer of corrosion resistance, great for structural outdoor environments.
