A U clevis is a U-shaped fastener with two holes for pin insertion, providing secure connections in mechanical and structural applications. Its high strength and corrosion resistance ensure durable performance in demanding environments, while the design enables easy installation, removal, and quick adjustments in heavy-duty applications.
U clevises are manufactured from carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, with grades including C-1035, SA-182-F11, F22, and types 304 or 316 stainless steel to meet varying load capacity and environmental resistance requirements. Finish options include electro-polished, plated, galvanized, electro-galvanized, hot-dipped galvanized, zinc-plated, and self-colored treatments for enhanced protection against moisture and corrosive elements.
Design features often incorporate a removable straight pin secured with a cotter pin for flexible assembly and disassembly. Threading options include UNC/UNF Class 2B, metric, and right or left-hand configurations, with possibilities for special threading and heat treating. Specifications cover widths up to 1-5/8 inches, thicknesses of 1/4 inch, hole diameters of 9/16 inch, and center-to-edge distances of 13/16 inch.
Manufacturing standards adhere to American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and ASTM guidelines, including ASTM A668 for carbon and alloy steel forgings and ASTM A473 for stainless steel. U clevises serve construction, automotive, agricultural, aircraft, marine, and utility industries in pipe supports, rigging, cylinder mountings, and other heavy-duty connections requiring secure, adjustable fastening.
