Oatey 553-8 Abs Dwv Pipe Hanger 3 Inch Sch 40

Product Description

The OATEY 553-8 is a black ABS pipe hanger designed to support 3-inch Schedule 40 DWV piping in residential and light commercial drain, waste, and vent systems. Part of the Hangs Tuff collection, this hanger is molded from ABS plastic for corrosion resistance and long-term durability in wet environments. It provides a secure, fixed support point to maintain proper pipe alignment and slope in DWV installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these hangers during rough-in to comply with spacing requirements set by the IPC and local codes. At 0.1205 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during overhead or in-wall work.

This hanger is suited for use in residential drain-waste-vent rough-in, commercial restroom plumbing, and horizontal or vertical DWV runs where consistent pipe support is required. It is specifically sized for 3-inch Schedule 40 pipe, making it appropriate for branch drain lines, closet flanges, and vent stacks commonly found in single-family and multi-family construction. The black ABS construction blends naturally with ABS DWV piping systems without requiring additional finishing.
