A U-bolt is an industrial fastener in the shape of the letter U with two threaded arms (or legs) extending from a curved base. U bolts are typically used to support pipe work or to attach a part to a pole, beam or wall, where the “u” shape keeps it firmly in place, adding stability to the support.
U-Bolts are often used for the attaching of pipes or steel round bars to round wood or steel posts, and may even be used to hang wrought iron pipe in mechanical installations or be embedded in concrete as anchor bolts. These are essentially a single piece of mild or stainless steel bar that is threaded at the end of either side and then shaped as the letter U.
Size Range: 15NB to 500NB
J-bolts are J-shaped fasteners, threaded on the flat side. They are often used in structural applications like securing walls to concrete foundations. The bent end hooks around rebar for support, and may be cast in concrete for use as an anchor bolt.
Size Range: 6mm to 25mm
L Bolts are most commonly used when attaching a plate member to masonry foundations and providing an anchor for lightweight post bases. Commonly referred to as an L-shaped anchor bolt, they are also known as a 90-degree anchor bolt.
Size Range: 6mm to 25mm
