Hanger

A hanger is a device used to support and secure pipes within a plumbing system, preventing sagging, movement, or misalignment. Pipe hangers are available in various designs, including U-bolts, clevis hangers, and strap hangers, each suited for different pipe sizes, materials, and installation requirements. They are typically made from materials like galvanized steel, copper, or plastic, depending on the type of pipe and the environment in which they are installed. Proper placement and installation of hangers are essential to maintain the structural integrity of the plumbing system, minimize stress on joints, and prevent leaks or damage. Regular inspection and adjustment of hangers help ensure continued support and alignment, especially in systems that experience thermal expansion or vibration.
