Empire 41SSI0038 Split Ring Hanger 3/8 in 304 Stainless

Product Description

The EMPIRE 41SSI0038 is a split ring hanger designed to support 3/8-inch nominal pipe from 3/8-inch threaded rod in overhead or wall-mounted piping installations. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this hanger resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, and outdoor environments where carbon steel hardware is not suitable. The hanger clamps around the pipe at the split, allowing installation without threading the pipe through a closed ring. It carries a rated load capacity of 180 pounds, making it appropriate for typical small-diameter pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This hanger is used in residential and commercial mechanical systems where 3/8-inch pipe requires secure, adjustable overhead support. Common applications include copper, PVC, CPVC, and stainless steel pipe runs in plumbing supply lines, hydronic systems, refrigerant piping, and general mechanical piping. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it well suited for corrosive or damp environments such as crawl spaces, equipment rooms, and exterior installations where material longevity is a priority.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemically exposed environments
• Split ring design allows installation without removing pipe ends or fittings
• Rated load capacity of 180 pounds for reliable small-diameter pipe support

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hanger for 3/8-inch nominal pipe supported from 3/8-inch threaded rod in standard mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC spacing requirements for pipe support hangers. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before making any modifications to existing support locations. Use properly rated threaded rod and structural anchors appropriate for the substrate and load. Do not exceed the rated 180-pound load capacity of the hanger.
