Metallics UBS024 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch are the Metallics UBS024 U-bolt and its nuts?
The UBS024 U-bolt is 3/8-16, meaning 3/8 inch diameter rod with 16 threads per inch, cut right hand to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard. Two hex nuts ship with each bolt. Any 3/8-16 stainless nut or washer you already stock will run on it.
2) Is the UBS024 U-bolt stainless, and will it hold up outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
It is 18-8 stainless steel, the austenitic 300-series grade used where plain or zinc-plated steel would rust. That makes it workable for exterior pipe hangers, rooftop runs, chilled water lines and damp plant rooms. The two hex nuts supplied meet ASTM F594, the standard for stainless steel nuts.
3) What are the dimensions of the Metallics UBS024 U-bolt?
Stated as 3/8-16 x 4-1/8 x 3-1/2 inches: 3/8 inch rod with 16 threads per inch, and the two leg and opening figures of 4-1/8 and 3-1/2 inches. Measure the outside diameter of the pipe or conduit you are strapping against the 3-1/2 inch figure before ordering, since a U-bolt only clamps correctly when the saddle matches the round it sits on.
4) How many U-bolts come in a box of Metallics UBS024?
Ten per box, and 10 each is the order minimum, so a box is the smallest quantity sold. Metallics notes that other sizes and quantities are available by request if a job needs a different run.
5) Does this U-bolt qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded project?
The UBS024 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is listed as multiple, which is common on fastener lines run from more than one mill, so for a federally funded submittal ask for the certification covering the lot you are shipped.
6) What trades use a 3/8-16 stainless U-bolt like this, and what is it normally securing?
Electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work is the stated field application. In practice that means strapping conduit, rigid pipe, tubing and round duct or equipment legs back to structure, channel or a strut backplate. Because it is stainless rather than plated, it is the choice where the assembly sees weather or washdown.
7) Does a U-bolt like this come with a backing plate or saddle?
No. What ships is the U-bolt and two hex nuts, nothing else. If the design calls for a saddle, crossbar or strut backplate, or for flat and lock washers under the nuts, those are separate line items to add to the order.
8) Will the hex nuts on the Metallics UBS024 clear a standard channel nut or wrench socket?
The supplied hex nuts measure 0.551 to 0.563 inch across the flats with a height of 0.320 to 0.337 inch, dimensioned to ASME B18.2.2 for hex nuts. That is the standard 9/16 inch wrench size for a 3/8-16 nut, so any 9/16 socket, open end or nut driver in the van fits.
