Pro-source B138R 20 Split Ring Hanger 3/8 in 562 Lb

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE B138R 20 is a malleable iron split ring hanger designed to support and suspend pipes from threaded rod in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC installations. The split ring design allows the hanger to be installed around an existing pipe run without threading the pipe through the hanger, saving time during new construction and retrofit work. It accepts 3/8 inch threaded rod and carries a rated load capacity of 562 pounds, making it suitable for medium to heavy pipe spans. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of hanger as a standard support component in suspended ceiling and overhead pipe routing applications.

Split ring hangers like the B138R 20 are used in residential and commercial construction wherever pipes must be suspended from structural members or concrete decks via threaded rod. Typical applications include domestic water supply lines, drain waste vent runs, hydronic heating piping, refrigerant lines, and conduit bundles. The malleable iron construction handles the physical demands of occupied mechanical spaces and is compatible with standard pipe support assemblies.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability in demanding mechanical environments
• Split ring design allows installation around existing pipe without disassembly of the run
• Accepts 3/8 inch threaded rod for integration with standard rod hanger assemblies
• 562 pound rated load capacity supports medium to heavy pipe spans
• Single-piece package quantity suits individual repair, retrofit, and spot-replacement jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation split ring hanger compatible with standard 3/8 inch threaded rod hanger assemblies used in residential and commercial pipe support systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC and IFGC for pipe support spacing requirements. Shut off and depressurize any active pipe section before repositioning or adjusting existing hangers. Ensure the threaded rod and nut engagement is sufficient to achieve the full rated load capacity before putting the assembly into service. Do not exceed the published load rating or use the hanger in applications subject to dynamic or impact loading beyond static pipe weight.
