U-bolts come in various materials, but they are generally made of durable, non-corrosive metal. Some common materials include 316-stainless steel, plain carbon steel, and 304-stainless steel. To prevent corrosion and other damages, manufacturers may add protective coatings such as

Zinc-plating is the process of using electrodes to post Zinc onto iron parts or mild steel. The coating offers excellent resistance to corrosion, and it also acts as a sacrificial coat. Zinc corrodes over time gradually, thus protecting the steel underneath.

The thin zinc layer works well for indoor applications.

One of the major uses of U-bolts is for hanging tubes. Inappropriate setting up of your pipes can lead to falling objects and corrosion due to gravity. You can install a U-bolt to a ceiling, beam, or an overhead structure to secure elevated pipes and limit vibrations. During shipping, pipes can hop up and down, leading to breakage. You can use U-bolts to fasten and restrain pipes when shipping. The bolts will add a buffer between the pipes and other metals.
