Empire 41SSI0400 Split Ring Hanger 4 in 304 Ss 180 Lb

Product Description

The EMPIRE 41SSI0400 is a split ring hanger designed to support 4-inch nominal pipe in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping systems. Fabricated from 304 stainless steel, it provides corrosion resistance in wet, humid, or chemically active environments where carbon steel hangers would degrade. The hanger accepts a 1/2-inch threaded rod and carries a rated load capacity of 180 pounds, making it suitable for moderately heavy pipe runs including insulated lines. The pipe outside diameter accommodated is 4.5 inches. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of hanger during rough-in and piping support layout phases of a project.

This split ring hanger is used in residential and commercial piping installations where pipe must be suspended from structural members such as joists, beams, or unistrut. Typical applications include domestic water, process piping, drain lines, HVAC refrigerant or hydronic piping, and other runs requiring a secure, corrosion-resistant support point. The split ring design allows the hanger to be installed around existing pipe without threading the pipe through a closed ring, simplifying field installation in tight spaces or retrofit situations.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 4-inch nominal pipe having an outside diameter of 4.5 inches and paired with 1/2-inch threaded hanger rod in standard mechanical and plumbing piping support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before making any modifications to an existing support arrangement. Verify that the threaded rod, fasteners, and structural attachment point are rated to handle the combined load of the pipe, fluid, and insulation. Do not exceed the 180-pound rated load capacity of this hanger.
