Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N245-019 is a zinc-plated square U-bolt designed to secure pipe, conduit, or structural members to rectangular wood or metal substrates. Sized at 3/8 x 3-5/8 x 6 inches and cut to a lumber-compatible profile, it ships with a plate and hex nuts already attached, so installation is straightforward without additional hardware sourcing. The square-bend geometry distributes clamping load evenly across flat or rectangular stock. Plumbers, electricians, pipefitters, and general contractors use this fastener when a round U-bolt would not provide adequate contact surface. Each package contains 5 units sold as a boxed loose set.

This U-bolt is suited for light industrial, commercial, and residential applications where pipe runs, conduit, or structural members must be anchored to wood framing or metal structural components. The lumber-size designation means the interior saddle width corresponds to nominal lumber dimensions, making it a common choice for attaching hardware to 2x framing, purlins, or tube steel. The included plate and hex nuts allow immediate assembly on the job without locating separate hardware.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, electricians, or general contractors as part of pipe or conduit support runs. Ensure the mounting substrate can carry the intended load before fastening. Torque fasteners to the hardware specification of the connected system and verify that local mechanical or building codes governing pipe and conduit support spacing are observed. Do not over-torque hex nuts on wood substrates, as this can crush fiber and reduce holding strength.
