Round U Bolts – Stainless Steel & Carbon Steel
Precision-formed round bend U-bolts for pipe clamping, available in 304/316 stainless steel, carbon steel and A320 L7, with rolled threads and standard hex nuts.
Round U bolts are the most widely used pipe clamping fastener in construction, marine, oil & gas and HVAC applications. Our round bend U-bolts are manufactured to BS 3974 Part 1 and DIN 3570 Type A standards, covering nominal pipe sizes from NB 8 to NB 600 (pipe OD 13.7 mm – 610 mm) with thread sizes from M6 to M24. Choose from gripped (anchor) U-bolts that hold the pipe firmly in all directions, or non-gripped (guide) U-bolts that allow longitudinal thermal movement. Materials include carbon steel with hot-dip galvanised, zinc plated or self-colour finishes, plus 304 and 316 stainless steel for corrosive environments, and A320 L7 for low-temperature service. All U-bolts are supplied with hex nuts as standard, with rubber lined and anti-vibration options available on request.

FAQ
What is the difference between gripped and non-gripped round U bolts?
Gripped (anchor) U-bolts have a tight radius matching the pipe OD to lock the pipe in all directions. Non-gripped (guide) U-bolts have a slightly larger radius, allowing axial movement for thermal expansion.
Which U-bolt material should I choose for outdoor use?
For general outdoor use choose hot-dip galvanised carbon steel; for coastal or chemical environments choose 316 stainless steel.
What thread sizes do your round U bolts come in?
Standard threads range from M6 to M24, matching nominal pipe sizes NB 8 to NB 600.
Can you manufacture custom round U bolts?
Yes. Custom inside widths, leg lengths, thread lengths and materials are available — send us your drawing or dimensions.
