Pro-source CT138R 20 Split Ring Hanger 3/8 in 562 Lb Malleable Iron

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE CT138R 20 is a malleable iron split ring hanger designed to support pipes and conduit from threaded rod in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC piping systems. The split ring design allows the hanger to be installed around an existing pipe run without requiring the pipe to be threaded through, speeding up installation on new and retrofit jobs. It accepts a 3/8 inch threaded rod and carries a rated load capacity of 562 pounds, making it suitable for a wide range of pipe sizes and service conditions. Malleable iron construction provides strength and corrosion resistance for both indoor and light commercial applications.

Split ring hangers like the CT138R 20 are commonly used in commercial and residential mechanical rooms, suspended ceiling spaces, and utility chases where piping must be secured to structural framing or concrete overhead. They are a standard component on hydronic heating and cooling systems, domestic water supply lines, drain and vent runs, and refrigerant piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC installers select split ring hangers when working with threaded rod drop installations on new construction or service replacement work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local mechanical codes governing pipe support spacing and load requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before making any modifications to existing hangers or supports. Ensure the threaded rod and supporting structure are rated for the combined load of the pipe, fluid, and hanger assembly before installation. Do not exceed the rated 562 pound load capacity of the hanger.
