BOLTS, NUTS, PINS & U-BOLTS

q Fig. 137:Standard U-bolt U-Bolts

q Fig. 137S*:Special U-bolt (non-standard)

Size Range:12" through 36"
Material:Carbon steel U-bolt and four finished hex nuts
Finish:q Plain or q Fig. 137: Zinc Plated (Hot-Dip Galvanized optional) or q Fig. 137S: Hot-Dip Galvanized
Service:Recommended for support, or guide of heavy loads; often employed in power, process
plant and marine service.
Approvals:Complies with Federal Specification A-A-1192A (Type 24), WW-H-171-E (Type 24),
ANSI/MSS SP-69 and MSS SP-58 (Type 24).
Ordering Fig. 137:Specify pipe size x rod size (e.g., 6 x 58), figure number, name. U-bolt will
be furnished with longer tangents D or with longer threads E if so required and ordered.
If hex nuts are not required, specify without hex nuts.
Ordering Fig. 137S:Specify figure number, name, material specification, dimensions A, B, C, D,
and E, and with hex nuts or without hex nuts.
Note:The acceptability of galvanized coatings at temperatures above 450F is at the discretion
of the end user.
