Extended Leg U Bolts

Extended Leg U Bolts are heavy-duty fixing components designed for securing pipework, framework sections, and structural assemblies where additional thread length or deeper fixing engagement is required. Their extended leg design provides greater adjustment range and improved flexibility for mounting around larger sections, insulated pipework, or support frameworks.

 
Manufactured from high-strength steel, these U bolts are available in both Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) and Hot Dip Galvanised (HDG) finishes to suit a range of internal and external installation environments. They are widely used throughout mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, construction, and industrial applications where strong and dependable clamping performance is required.

 
The U-shaped design wraps securely around pipe, tube, channel, or structural sections, while the threaded legs allow fastening using compatible nuts and washers for a firm and adjustable connection.

Key Features

• Extended leg design for increased adjustment and fixing depth 
• High-strength steel construction for reliable clamping performance 
• Available in BZP and HDG corrosion-resistant finishes 
• Suitable for pipework, channel, and structural fixing applications 
• Compatible with standard nuts, washers, and support hardware 
• Provides secure mounting around round or square sections 
• Suitable for light, medium, and heavy-duty installations 
• Ideal for suspended and structural support systems

In-Depth Description

Extended Leg U Bolts are designed to provide strong mechanical fixing around pipes, tubes, channel systems, and structural sections where standard U bolts may not provide sufficient thread length or adjustment capability. The extended threaded legs allow installers to accommodate thicker mounting arrangements, insulation layers, support plates, or larger framework sections while still maintaining secure fastening engagement.

The BZP finish offers good corrosion resistance for general indoor use and standard mechanical installations, while the HDG finish provides enhanced protection for external environments, plantrooms, industrial facilities, and installations exposed to moisture or more aggressive conditions.

 
These fixings are commonly used in conjunction with support channels, backplates, mounting brackets, saddles, and suspension systems across mechanical and electrical service installations. Their simple but effective design allows for rapid installation and secure clamping performance across a wide range of applications.

 
Extended Leg U Bolts are suitable for securing pipework, conduit, duct supports, cable management systems, framework assemblies, and structural support components where stability and adjustability are important.

Applications

• Pipework and plumbing supports 
• HVAC and ducting installations 
• Cable tray and conduit systems 
• Channel and Unistrut frameworks 
• Industrial and structural support systems 
• Suspended mechanical services 
• External and plantroom installations

Installation

Position the U bolt around the pipe, channel, or structural section and secure using compatible washers and nuts. Tighten evenly to achieve a stable and secure clamping force without over-compressing the supported component.

With their extended threaded design, durable steel construction, and multiple finish options, Extended Leg U Bolts provide a versatile and dependable solution for professional support and fixing applications.
