Nvent 4550050EG Split Ring Hanger 1/2 Inch Pipe Eg

Product Description

The NVENT 4550050EG is a 455 Series malleable cast iron split ring hanger with an electrogalvanized finish, designed to support 1/2-inch non-insulated metal pipe in suspended piping systems. The quick-closing hinged clamp design allows fast installation around pipe without disassembly, and the integrated threaded nut accepts a 3/8-inch threaded rod for connection to structural overhead supports. With a rated load capacity of 180 pounds, this hanger is built for reliable long-term support in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping runs where a durable, corrosion-resistant hardware solution is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This split ring hanger is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where 1/2-inch pipe - with an outer diameter of 0.84 inches - must be hung from threaded rod suspended from structural members, beams, or concrete decks. It is intended for use with non-insulated metal pipe only. Common applications include domestic water supply lines, hydronic piping, and mechanical room pipe support systems. The electrogalvanized finish provides basic corrosion resistance appropriate for interior dry or semi-dry environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch non-insulated metal pipe having an outer diameter of 0.84 inches, suspended via 3/8-inch threaded rod. Not intended for insulated pipe applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC guidelines for pipe support spacing. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before making any modifications to existing supported runs. Verify that the overhead structural attachment point and threaded rod assembly are rated to handle the combined load of the pipe, fluid, and hanger hardware. Do not use this hanger with insulated pipe, as it is designed for non-insulated metal pipe only.
