16mm ElectroGal U-Bolt

16mm ElectroGal U-Bolt Incl Nylock and Washer

M16 U-bolts are U-shaped bolts with a thread diameter of 16mm. They are commonly used in construction, plumbing, and other industrial applications.

16mm heavy-duty U-bolts are ideal for trailer rigs up to 6t. Couplemate have tested both 1/2-inch and 16mm u-bolts to destruction.

The BBL or break load limit of 16mm u-bolts is 23t. This BBL is well above the working loads of trailers up to 6t.

For loads over 6t we would recommend high tensile u-bolts with UNF threads to ensure a sufficient torque setting when tightening nuts.

M16 U-bolts are available in a variety of sizes and materials, including:

• Inside width: The inside width is the distance between the two legs of the U-bolt. M16 u-bolts have inside widths ranging from 45mm to 60mm.
• Length: The length of the U-bolt is the overall length of the bolt, from the top of the bend to the bottom of the threads. M16 u-bolts are available with lengths ranging from 150mm to 195mm.
• Material: M16 u-bolts are typically made from steel but are also available in stainless steel and other materials.
• Grade: The grade of the U-bolt refers to its strength. M16 u-bolts are available in grades 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9.

When choosing an M16 U-bolt, it is important to consider the following factors:

• The size of the object you are securing: The inside width of the U-bolt should be large enough to fit around the object you are securing.
• The thickness of the object you are securing: The U-bolt should be long enough to go through the object you are securing and leave enough thread to secure a nut.
• The load that the U-bolt will be subjected to: The grade of the U-bolt should be strong enough to handle the load it will be subjected to.
• The environment in which the U-bolt will be used: If the U-bolt will be used in a corrosive environment, it should be made from stainless steel or another material resistant to corrosion.

M16 U-bolts are versatile and affordable fasteners that can be used in various applications. When choosing an M16 U-bolt, it is important to consider the size, material, grade, and environment in which it will be used.
