Empire 11B0050 Adjustable Clevis Hanger 1/2 in Pipe

Product Description

The EMPIRE 11B0050 is an adjustable clevis hanger designed to support 1/2 inch nominal pipe from 3/8 inch threaded rod. Fabricated from carbon steel with a plain finish, this hanger provides a rated load capacity of 730 pounds, making it suitable for demanding mechanical piping installations. The clevis design allows for vertical adjustment along the rod, giving installers flexibility when final pipe elevation must be fine-tuned after rod installation. It carries cULus Listed and FM Approved certifications, meeting common inspection and insurance requirements on commercial and industrial projects.

This hanger is used in commercial and industrial mechanical rooms, as well as residential and light commercial HVAC and plumbing rough-in work, wherever 1/2 inch pipe must be suspended from overhead structure. Typical applications include hydronic heating lines, domestic water supply runs, refrigerant piping hangers where clevis-style support is specified, and general process piping. It is well suited for installation by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanical contractors following standard piping support specifications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style clevis hanger for 1/2 inch nominal pipe suspended from 3/8 inch threaded rod in standard mechanical piping support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC mechanical contractors. Ensure threaded rod anchorage to overhead structure meets the applicable load requirements before hanging pipe. Pipe support spacing should follow the applicable plumbing or mechanical code, such as the IPC or IFGC, for the pipe material and size being installed. Inspect the hanger and rod threads for damage before assembly and do not overtighten the adjustment nuts in a way that distorts the clevis body.
