A V U-bolt clamps a pipe, tube or round bar against a flat surface. It takes two nuts and often a saddle or plate of matching thread. The bolt is set through drilled holes in the mounting surface.

Hot-dip galvanising gives a thick zinc coating for outdoor and wet use. Plain finish is uncoated and suits dry indoor work. PTFE coating gives low friction and some chemical resistance.

This kind of part is often made in stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316 or steel. Stainless steel 316 suits more corrosive conditions than 304.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance and a mill test certificate for the steel grade. On receipt, check the thread, the V profile and the coating condition.
