Technical Specifications

This UBM Series conduit U-bolt accommodates 2" trade size rigid and IMC conduit with 3/8"-16 threading for standard mounting hardware compatibility. The iron construction with electrogalvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining the structural strength required for heavy conduit runs. Product dimensions of 4.5" length, 2.5" width, and 2" height at 0.28 lb weight offer optimal strength-to-weight ratio for professional installations. NEC/CEC compliance ensures code-approved conduit support spacing.

Installation Process

1. Determine proper conduit support spacing per NEC/CEC requirements for 2" rigid/IMC conduit
2. Position U-bolt around conduit at designated support points
3. Thread 3/8"-16 nuts and washers onto U-bolt ends
4. Secure to beam clamp, threaded rod, or structural mounting point
5. Tighten nuts evenly to secure conduit without over-compression
6. Verify conduit alignment and support integrity before proceeding with installation

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial installations
• Infrastructure Projects - Municipal buildings, transportation facilities, and utility installations
• Overhead Conduit Runs - Suspended conduit systems requiring reliable support points
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit runs benefiting from galvanized corrosion protection
• Heavy-Duty Applications - Fully loaded 2" conduit requiring maximum support strength
• Code-Critical Installations - Projects requiring verified NEC/CEC compliance for conduit support

Conduit U-Bolt System Benefits

U-bolt conduit supports provide superior holding power compared to strap-style supports, especially for larger trade sizes like 2" conduit. The wraparound design distributes load evenly around the conduit circumference, preventing deformation under weight. This is particularly important for rigid and IMC conduit systems where maintaining proper alignment is critical for pulling conductors and ensuring long-term system integrity.

Why Choose Iron Construction?

Iron construction offers the optimal balance of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness for conduit support applications. Unlike lighter materials that may flex or fail under load, iron U-bolts maintain their shape and holding power even with fully loaded 2" conduit. The electrogalvanized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance while preserving the inherent strength advantages of iron, making this the preferred choice of electrical contractors for demanding commercial and industrial installations.
