Asc Engineered Solutions 560018970 Copper Split Ring Hanger

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 560018970 is a copper split ring hanger designed to support 1/2 inch pipe from 3/8 inch threaded rod. Split ring hangers consist of two interlocking halves that snap around the pipe, allowing installation and removal without disconnecting the rod assembly. This hanger is used in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems where copper pipe requires secure overhead support. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these as part of code-compliant pipe support systems in both residential and commercial applications. The all-copper construction makes it well suited for use with copper piping where galvanic compatibility is a concern.

This hanger is used wherever 1/2 inch copper pipe is run horizontally overhead and must be suspended from structural members via threaded rod. Common install scenarios include domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and refrigerant or drain piping in mechanical rooms and ceiling cavities. The split ring design simplifies installation in tight spaces where a one-piece ring would require threading over the pipe end.

Key Features

• Copper construction provides galvanic compatibility with copper pipe systems
• Split ring design allows installation and removal without disturbing threaded rod assembly
• Sized for 1/2 inch pipe with 3/8 inch rod connection
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds per unit, minimizing load contribution
• Suitable for plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping support applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pipe support component for use with 1/2 inch copper pipe suspended from 3/8 inch threaded rod in standard plumbing and mechanical piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before servicing any connected piping. Ensure threaded rod is properly anchored to structural members and that hanger spacing meets applicable code requirements such as those outlined in the International Plumbing Code. Do not overtighten the split ring halves against soft copper tubing, as this can deform the pipe wall.
