Large U Bolts Extended Bright Zinc Plated Steel Non-Grip Pipework

The large u bolts are a bolt in the shape of the letter U with screw threads on both ends. U clamp has primarily been used to support pipework, pipes through which fluids and gasses pass. As such, U-bolts were measured using pipe-work engineering speak. A U-bolt would be described by the size of the pipe it was supporting. U-bolts are also used to hold ropes together. Ever Hardware provides custom-made large u bolts and customizable packaging.

For example, a 40 Nominal Bore U-bolt would be asked for by pipework engineers, and only they would know what that meant. In reality, the 40 nominal bore part bears little resemblance to the size and dimensions of the U-bolt.
The nominal bore of a pipe is actually a measurement of the inside diameter of the pipe. Engineers are interested in this because they design a pipe by the amount of fluid/gas it can transport.
As U-bolts are now being used by a much wider audience to clamp any kind of tubing/round bar, then a more convenient measurement system needs to be used.
Four elements uniquely define any U-bolt:
Material type (for example bright zinc-plated mild steel)
Thread dimensions (for example M12 * 50 mm)
Inside diameter (for example 50 mm – the distance between the legs)
Inside height (for example 120 mm)
Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not cause a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. Indeed, the zinc oxide, if undisturbed, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers.
