U-clips
As a rule, U-clips are used when you can drill the support profile. This type of clip is very easy to fit. As standard, the U-clip consists of the following parts:
- 1x bolt M8 x 40;
- 1x U-saddle;
- 1x ring M8;
- 1x M8 square nut.
The U-clip is optionally available with an arm to clamp the grating (see B-clips).
Quality
The U-clip is available in a variety of qualities depending on the application and environment.
- Stainless steel 316-A4: Vinylester gratings (type VE-FR, VE-XFR) for chemicals;
