Metallics UB024PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size does the Metallics UB024PL u-bolt fit?
The UB024PL is sized for 3 inch pipe. It is a u-bolt with a backing plate and two nuts, with the u measuring 4-1/8 by 3-1/2 inches as called out in the size description, so the bend clears 3 inch pipe OD with the plate seating against the support.
2) Does the UB024PL u-bolt come with nuts and a plate, or do I order those separately?
Both are included. Each UB024PL ships as a u-bolt with its plate and two nuts, so nothing else is needed to clamp the pipe to the support. You still supply whatever anchors the plate end if you are fastening through structure.
3) What grade of steel is the UB024PL u-bolt, and does it meet a spec I can put on a submittal?
The u-bolt is ASTM A307 steel with Grade A nuts per ASTM A563. Dimensions follow ASME B18.2.2 and threads follow ANSI/ASME B1.1. A307 is the standard low-carbon bolt spec for general pipe support and hanger work, so if the drawing calls for A307 u-bolts this meets it as written.
4) What thread does the Metallics UB024PL use, and will standard 3/8 nuts thread onto it?
Threads are 3/8-16, that is 16 threads per inch, cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1. Any standard 3/8-16 coarse nut or washer will thread on, and the two nuts supplied are Grade A per ASTM A563.
5) Is this u-bolt OK outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The UB024PL is zinc plated steel. Zinc handles indoor and sheltered damp conditions fine, but it is a plated carbon steel part, not stainless, so for direct weather exposure, coastal air, or wash-down areas expect the plating to be the limiting factor and specify a stainless u-bolt instead.
6) How many u-bolts come in a bag, and is there a minimum I have to buy?
UB024PL is bagged 10 to a bag, and the order minimum is 10 each. So the smallest purchase is one bag of ten complete assemblies, each with its plate and two nuts.
7) Can I use the Metallics UB024PL on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
The UB024PL is made in the United States, but Metallics flags it as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant. If your contract carries a Buy American or ARRA clause, this part will not satisfy it on paper regardless of origin, so have it approved or substitute a compliance-certified u-bolt.
8) Should I use a u-bolt with a plate or a two-piece pipe clamp to support 3 inch conduit or pipe?
A plated u-bolt like the UB024PL wraps the pipe and pulls down onto a single backing plate, so it works where you are clamping to a flat surface, strut, or angle and want the pipe held rigid in one piece of hardware. A two-piece clamp or hanger is the better choice when you need to drop the pipe from a rod, allow for movement, or install around pipe that is already run and cannot be threaded through a closed u. The UB024PL also commits you to 3 inch pipe and 3/8-16 threads, so it is a fixed-size solution rather than an adjustable one.
9) What size wrench or socket do the nuts on this u-bolt take?
The nuts supplied with the UB024PL measure 0.551 to 0.563 inch across the flats and 0.320 to 0.337 inch high, which is the standard 3/8-16 hex nut dimension. A 9/16 inch wrench or socket fits.
