ASTM A325 U-Bolts and J-Bolts are custom-bent fasteners manufactured using material that conforms to the high tensile and yield strength requirements of the ASTM A325 structural specification. U-Bolts are used primarily for clamping pipework and tubing to structural supports. J-Bolts are used as heavy-duty anchor bolts in concrete foundations. By utilizing A325 material, these components ensure the structural connections possess the highest available strength for carbon steel, having been quenched and tempered to resist heavy static and dynamic loads. Zeron Fastners supplies A325-grade U-Bolts and J-Bolts for applications in bridges, heavy machinery bases, and large industrial piping supports.
