Pro-source E138R 50 Split Ring Hanger 3/8 in 989 Lb Malleable Iron

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE E138R 50 is a malleable iron split ring hanger designed to support pipes and conduit from threaded rod in commercial and industrial piping systems. It accepts a 3/8 inch rod and carries a rated load capacity of 989 pounds, making it suitable for heavy-duty overhead support applications. The two-piece split ring design clamps around the pipe and locks onto the suspension rod, distributing load evenly without deforming the pipe wall. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and impact resistance required in mechanical room, plumbing, and HVAC piping installations.

Split ring hangers of this type are used in residential and commercial mechanical systems where pipes must be suspended from structural ceilings, joists, or overhead unistrut. Common applications include domestic water supply lines, drain waste vent piping, chilled water and condenser water lines, and refrigerant piping. The 3/8 inch rod size is a standard threaded rod diameter in light to medium pipe support assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in new construction and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability and impact resistance in mechanical piping environments
• 989 lb rated load capacity supports heavy pipe runs and fluid-filled lines
• 3/8 inch rod size fits standard threaded hanger rod commonly used in plumbing and HVAC systems
• Split ring design allows installation around existing pipe without disassembling the run
• UNSPSC Code 31162306 for procurement and specification compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit split ring hanger for use with 3/8 inch threaded suspension rod in commercial and residential piping support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC pipe support spacing requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before making any modifications to an active line. Ensure the threaded rod and structural anchor point are rated to meet or exceed the hanger load capacity before loading the assembly. Do not overtighten the split ring closure hardware, as excess force can deform or score the pipe surface.
