BOLTS, NUTS, PINS & U-BOLTS

q Fig. 137:Standard U-bolt

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

U-Bolts

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.

*When the combination of a normal load and

a side load occurs, a straight line interaction
formula may be used to determine if the Fig. 137
is still within the allowable stress range:
Pn/Pna + Ps/Psa 1
Where:
Pn = actual applied normal load;
Pna = allowable normal load for the Fig. 137;
Ps = actual applied side load;
Psa = allowable side load for the Fig. 137
Nuts must be snug tight in installation to
achieve side loads shown.

Loads, weights and dimensions shown do not apply for Fig. 137S. Max load rating for carbon steel is based on 2 x
load rating for rod. Max load rating for stainless steel is 0.85 times the maximum stated load ratings listed above.
