Pipe hangers and supports hold pipe, tubing and conduit in place along walls, ceilings and steel. This subcategory covers adjustable clevis hangers, swivel ring hangers, one and two hole pipe straps, J-hooks, riser clamps, beam clamps, strut pipe clamps, copper tube straps, and the rod couplings and nuts used to hang them. Finishes include plain, zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanized, copper-plated and plastic coated.

What to check before you order

  • Pipe or tube size. Hangers are sized to pipe size or copper tube size, which are not the same. Order the type that matches your line.
  • Rod size. Clevis and ring hangers take a specific threaded rod diameter, commonly 3/8 in. for smaller pipe. Check the hanger listing.
  • Mixed metals. Use copper-plated or plastic-coated supports on copper tube to help prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Load and spacing. Hanger spacing and load limits come from code and the hanger maker. Follow those values, and ask an engineer for heavy or unusual loads.

Threaded rod is under threaded rod and studs, and strut channel is under boxes, conduit and strut. Concrete anchors for ceiling mounts are in anchors, and more supplies are in plumbing.

Common questions

What is a clevis hanger?

A clevis hanger is a U-shaped hanger that hangs from threaded rod and cradles a horizontal pipe from below. The nut on the rod lets you adjust the height to set the pitch of the run. It is widely used for suspended water, drain and sprinkler lines within the maker's listed sizes.

What is a riser clamp used for?

A riser clamp grips a vertical pipe and rests on the floor, deck or a support at a floor penetration, so it carries the weight of the vertical run. Riser clamps are sized by pipe or tube size, and spacing should follow code and the clamp maker's data.
