U-Bolts are U-shaped fasteners with two threaded legs extending from a curved or formed base. They are commonly used to secure and support pipes, tubes, cables, structural members, and other components to poles, beams, walls, frames, and supporting structures.
The U-shaped design provides a stable fastening arrangement around the secured component, while the threaded ends allow the U-Bolt to be tightened using nuts and washers. U-Bolts are widely used in automotive, engineering, construction, piping, marine, offshore, chemical, and industrial applications.
Adore Industries manufactures and supplies U-Bolts in different sizes, materials, grades, standards, and configurations. Customized U-Bolts can also be manufactured according to customer drawings and application requirements.

The shape can be selected according to the profile of the pipe, component, insulation, or supporting structure.
Insulated U-Bolts
Insulated U-Bolts are designed with a protective insulating sleeve or base between the U-Bolt and the supported pipe or component. These configurations can help address contact-related corrosion concerns and reduce vibration or noise in suitable piping applications.
Adore Industries can supply heavy-pattern and light-pattern insulated U-Bolts with options such as neoprene sleeves and bases. Insulated configurations can also be supplied as grip-type or guide-type U-Bolts, depending on the pipe and insulation profile.
These U-Bolts can be used for supporting pipes manufactured from stainless steel, duplex, super duplex, and other materials.
Insulation Materials
Different insulation and sleeve materials can be supplied according to the application, including:
- EPDM Rubber
- Neoprene
- PVC
- Thermoplastic Elastomer
- TPU
- PE
- PTFE
Material selection can be based on operating temperature, environmental conditions, chemical exposure, vibration requirements, and pipe material.
Standards
U-Bolts can be manufactured and supplied according to recognized standards, including:
- EU Standards
- IFI
- ASME
- BS
- ISP
