Greenfield 202-3 Malleable Split Ring Pipe Hanger 3 in

Product Description

The GREENFIELD 202-3 is a malleable iron split ring pipe hanger designed to support 3-inch pipe with a 3.5-inch outer diameter. It accepts a 1/2-inch threaded rod for suspension from structural members, beams, or strut. Split ring hangers allow the pipe to be installed into the hanger without full disassembly, making them a standard choice for plumbing, HVAC piping, and mechanical systems where speed and repeatability matter. This hanger is supplied in a plain finish, suitable for indoor dry applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors routinely install this type of hardware during new construction and retrofit work.

The 202-3 is used in residential and commercial mechanical systems wherever 3-inch pipe runs require overhead suspension. Common applications include copper, steel, and plastic drain, waste, and vent lines, as well as hydronic heating and cooling piping. The split ring design simplifies installation on long horizontal runs and in congested ceiling spaces where full-ring hangers are difficult to position. The 1/2-inch rod connection is compatible with standard all-thread rod and beam clamp assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize any active piping system before adding or repositioning hangers. Verify rod diameter and load rating are appropriate for the pipe weight, including contents and insulation. Do not overtighten the split ring closure, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.
