The 1/2 x 2 x 5 Square U Bolt is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant fastening solution ideal for securing components to square tubing. Whether you’re working on a trailer, marine setup, or custom fabrication project, this U-bolt delivers both durability and versatility.
Heavy-Duty Construction
To begin with, the 1/2 x 2 x 5 Square U Bolt is forged from high-grade steel for superior strength. It’s engineered to hold tight under heavy loads and resist bending or deformation. The 1/2″ diameter ensures a thick, dependable grip, while the 2″ inside width and 5″ leg length give it excellent compatibility with a variety of square tubing sizes.
Moreover, the threads are cleanly cut, allowing for smooth nut engagement and firm clamping force. This results in fewer installation issues and longer-lasting security.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish
What truly sets this U-bolt apart is its corrosion-resistant coating. Typically zinc-plated or hot-dip galvanized, it offers excellent resistance against rust, moisture, and environmental wear. Therefore, it’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor use—especially in marine or trailer applications where exposure to water is common.
Versatile Application
You can use the bolt for a wide range of purposes. It’s frequently used to secure brackets, rollers, cross-members, or hardware to trailers and frames. Whether you’re building a new trailer or upgrading an old one, this component fits snugly around square tubing, holding parts firmly in place.
In addition, it’s a perfect match for boat trailers, jet ski trailers, utility frames, and even agricultural equipment. Its square shape prevents twisting and movement, ensuring parts stay aligned during travel or operation.
Easy Installation
Installing this U-bolt is simple and fast. Each bolt typically comes with two hex nuts and optional washers for secure fastening. Once positioned, tighten the nuts evenly to achieve maximum holding power. There’s no need for specialized tools—just a standard socket or wrench will do the job.
