Technical Specifications

This UBM series conduit U-bolt accommodates 3" trade size rigid and IMC conduit with iron construction and electrogalvanized finish. The unit features 3/8"-16 standard threading and measures 3.88" in width, 6.38" in length, and 3" in height, weighing 0.42 pounds. The electrogalvanized finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining the structural advantages of iron construction. Designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations with full NEC/CEC compliance for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Determine proper support spacing per NEC/CEC requirements for 3" rigid/IMC conduit runs
2. Mark mounting locations on structural supports, ensuring adequate clearance for conduit placement
3. Position U-bolt around conduit at marked support points, ensuring proper alignment
4. Insert 3/8"-16 threaded rods or bolts through U-bolt ends into mounting structure
5. Apply appropriate washers and nuts, tightening to manufacturer specifications
6. Verify secure mounting and proper conduit support 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
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, schools, and public utility installations
• Heavy-Duty Electrical Systems - Large conduit runs requiring robust support solutions
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit runs benefiting from corrosion-resistant finish
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and distribution panel connections
• Structural Mounting - Beam, wall, and ceiling-mounted conduit support applications
• Long Conduit Runs - Intermediate support points for extended 3" conduit installations

U-Bolt Support System Benefits

U-bolt conduit supports provide superior holding power compared to strap or clamp alternatives, especially for larger trade sizes like 3" conduit. The wraparound design distributes load evenly around the conduit circumference, preventing deformation and ensuring long-term support integrity. This is particularly important for heavy 3" rigid and IMC conduit installations where point loading from inadequate supports can cause system failure over time.

Why Choose Iron Construction with Electrogalvanized Finish?

Iron construction provides superior strength characteristics compared to standard steel, offering enhanced load-bearing capacity crucial for 3" conduit support applications. The electrogalvanized finish adds a protective zinc coating that significantly improves corrosion resistance, extending service life in challenging environments. This combination delivers the structural performance needed for heavy-duty applications while providing the corrosion protection required for long-term reliability in commercial and industrial electrical systems.
