Designed to meet the rigorous demands of seismic and lateral bracing systems, our U Quick Lateral Bracing Clamp offers a fast, compliant solution for securing pipes in high-risk environments. Constructed from high-strength carbon steel with a zinc-rich epoxy coating, the clamp combines rapid installation with superior structural integrity. The unique U-shaped design features a pre-engineered pivot joint that automatically aligns with the pipe axis, while the quick-lock lever mechanism eliminates the need for threaded fasteners during initial positioning. Compatible with pipe diameters from 2" to 10", the clamp includes adjustable friction pads that provide 360° rotational restraint without damaging the pipe surface.

Meets ASCE 7-16 and IBC 2021 standards for seismic bracing. With a tested displacement capacity of ±6" (150mm) to absorb earthquake-induced movements.
The patent-pending lever lock allows one-person installation in under 30 seconds. Significantly reducing labor costs compared to traditional bolted braces.
The dual-wedge friction pads apply uniform pressure across the pipe surface, rated for dynamic loads up to 2,000 lbs and static loads up to 4,500 lbs.
The epoxy coating (250μm thickness) resists UV radiation, chemical spills, and abrasive dust, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Critical for achieving code - compliant seismic bracing, this clamp serves a crucial role in multiple key sectors.
In high - rise structures, it plays a vital part in securing essential components. Sprinkler pipes, which are of utmost importance for fire safety, and mechanical ductwork are firmly held in place within elevator shafts and utility cores. These areas are critical as any movement or displacement during seismic activity could lead to system failures, endangering the lives of building occupants and causing significant damage to the structure.
For transportation infrastructure, this clamp is essential for supporting pipeline systems. In tunnels, where ground vibrations can be intense and pose a threat to the integrity of pipelines, it ensures that the pipes remain stable. Similarly, on bridges, which are exposed to various dynamic forces including seismic activity, the clamp keeps the pipeline systems secure. In metro stations, which are often located in areas where ground vibrations can occur, it safeguards the pipeline systems, preventing disruptions to services such as water supply or ventilation.
Data centers have strict seismic requirements, especially in raised - floor environments. Here, the clamp is used to ensure the stability of cooling water pipes. Given the high - value equipment and the need for continuous operation in data centers, any movement of the cooling water pipes due to seismic events could lead to water leakage, which in turn could damage servers and other critical components, causing significant data loss and service interruptions.
In industrial warehouses, particularly in earthquake - prone regions, the clamp is used to brace compressed air lines and conveyor support structures. Compressed air lines are essential for powering various industrial processes, and conveyor systems are the backbone of material handling in these warehouses. Ensuring their stability during seismic events is crucial to prevent production disruptions and potential damage to inventory and equipment.
