Carpenter Paterson 1ae-3 Band Hanger 3 Inch Pipe

Product Description

The CARPENTER PATERSON 1ae-3 is a rod-mount band hanger designed to support non-insulated, stationary pipe lines from above. Fabricated from carbon steel with an electrogalvanized finish, it is rated to carry loads up to 970 pounds and is suitable for service up to 140 degrees F. The lower nut adjusts the pipe line to the proper elevation, and the top nut locks the assembly against loosening caused by vibration. Both nuts are field-supplied and not included. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this hanger in overhead pipe support applications where a secure, adjustable rod-mount solution is required.

The 1ae-3 is sized for 3 inch pipe and mounts to a 1/2 inch hanger rod. It is used in commercial and industrial plumbing installations to support non-insulated, stationary lines in overhead configurations. The electrogalvanized carbon steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for typical indoor mechanical room and pipe chase environments. The adjustable design allows the installer to set the pipe line to the correct elevation after the rod is anchored, making it practical for new construction and retrofit work alike.
