Empire 61B0075 Wide Top Jaw Clamp 900 Lb Ductile Iron

Product Description

The EMPIRE 61B0075 is a wide top jaw clamp designed for pipe hanger and support applications in mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems. It accommodates flanges up to 1-1/4 inches thick and accepts a 3/4-inch hanger rod, making it a standard-duty fastener for threaded rod suspension assemblies. Constructed from ductile iron, the 61B0075 delivers a rated load capacity of 900 pounds, giving installers a reliable, code-recognized component for overhead pipe support work. It weighs 0.83 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This clamp is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, and fire suppression system installations where beam-flange pipe hanger support is required. The wide top jaw design spans a broader flange contact area, distributing load more evenly than standard jaw clamps. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, sprinkler fitters, and mechanical contractors working on suspended piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or sprinkler fitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes.

Ensure the supporting structure and beam flange are rated for the combined load of the piping system before torquing the clamp assembly. Verify rod size and flange thickness compatibility before installation to maintain rated load performance.
