Description
A GI U-strap, also known as a galvanized iron U-strap, is a common plumbing accessory used for securing and supporting pipes. It is typically made of galvanized iron, which provides corrosion resistance.The U-strap is installed by attaching it to a structural support, such as a wall or ceiling, using screws or nails. The pipe is then placed inside the U-shaped channel, and the strap is tightened to hold the pipe firmly. This helps to prevent the pipe from sagging or moving, ensuring proper support and stability.
U-straps are commonly used in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. They are available in various sizes to accommodate different pipe diameters. When installing plumbing pipes, it’s important to follow local building codes and guidelines to ensure proper support and secure attachment of the pipes.
