Standard, Custom & Long Tangent U-Bolts | U-Bolt-It

What is a U-Bolt?

A U-bolt is a headless fastener with a profile bent into a "U" or "C" shape. It features two threaded legs extending from a curved or square base. The bent shape keeps the bolt firmly in place against a matched round surface, providing significantly more support, security, and stability than alternative fasteners like J-bolts.

Common Applications

U-bolts are heavily utilized across the building, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. They are primarily designed to keep round materials firmly in place, but are highly versatile. Common uses include:

  • Pipework and Conduit Support: Securing pipes and electrical conduits to structural components.
  • Framing and Anchoring: Acting as reliable foundation and roof anchors.
  • Motor and Machinery Components: Serving as engine shaft fasteners.
  • Wire and Cable Management: Bundling and securing heavy-duty industrial cables.
  • Structural Attachments: Attaching poles or beams to walls in outdoor and construction environments.

Round and Long Tangent U-Bolts

Standard Round U-Bolts

Standard round U-bolts feature a curved base designed to wrap around pipes, poles, and conduits perfectly. They are the industry standard for anchoring cylindrical objects to flat surfaces or structural beams.

Long Tangent U-Bolts

Long tangent U-bolts are identical to standard round U-bolts with one key exception: the threaded legs are extended. The extra length provides additional threading, making them ideal for applications where the mounting structural material is exceptionally thick or requires extended reach.

Installation Tip: Bolt length directly impacts load capacity. To ensure structural stability and safety, both standard and long tangent U-bolts should be tightened until there is visible evidence of complete threading through the nut or attachment point.
