ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A saddle for a U-bolt clamp is formed of a pair of tubular housings arranged to receive and slide axially upon the legs of a U-bolt having a semicircular bight, with the housings connected by web portions consisting of a pair of initially parallel planar sections of sheet steel that are welded together in substantially full face contact and ex- tending transversely between the housings integral therewith. The upper (bight facing) edge of each planar section is curved as a semicircular recess on the radius of the U-bolt bight. The mid portion of each planar web section is, for its entire length between the tubular housings, embossed with deep ribs to provide web stiffeners materially reinforcing the entire web portion of the saddle. The lower edge of each web section is formed with an out-turned lateral flange over its full length, which flange lies in a plane normal to the longi- tudinal axes of the tubular housings and additionally reinforces the web section against horizontal distortion and twist when securing nuts threaded on the ends of the U-bolt legs are drawn up against the lower end faces of the tubular housings to tighten the clamp. The flanges add about 50% more metal to the web area at its narrowest point.
