Anvil 0560018814 Extension Split Pipe Clamp 1/2 in Malleable Iron

Product Description

The ANVIL 0560018814 is an extension split pipe clamp designed to support and secure 1/2-inch nominal pipe in mechanical and plumbing installations. Constructed from malleable iron, it delivers a rated load capacity of 180 pounds, making it suitable for overhead pipe support applications where consistent holding strength is required. The split design allows the clamp to be installed around existing pipe runs without full pipe disassembly. A 3/8-inch rod diameter interface connects the clamp to threaded rod hanger systems commonly used in commercial and residential mechanical work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this fitting.

This clamp is used in piped systems where pipe must be suspended from structure above, such as joists, beams, or concrete ceilings. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, and general mechanical pipe support work. The extension-style configuration provides additional clearance between the pipe and the supporting structure when standard clamps do not provide sufficient standoff. It is suited for horizontal pipe runs requiring periodic intermediate support points along a threaded rod hanger layout.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress in support applications
• 180-pound load capacity rated for reliable overhead pipe support
• Fits 1/2-inch nominal pipe size for standard small-diameter piping installations
• 3/8-inch rod diameter interface for compatibility with common threaded hanger rod systems
• Split design enables installation around existing pipe without full removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 1/2-inch nominal pipe support systems using 3/8-inch threaded rod hanger assemblies in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC guidelines for pipe support spacing. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before repositioning or replacing clamps on active pipe runs. Ensure the threaded rod and fasteners are rated for the combined load of the pipe, fluid, and insulation. Torque fasteners to the hardware manufacturer specifications and confirm the hanger rod is securely anchored to structure before restoring system pressure.
