WARNING
All hanger products in this catalog are intended for installation and service as illustrated or described. Do not
use them for any purposes other than those described in this catalog. Products that are used for unintended
purposes could fail, resulting in severe personal injury or death.
Examples of misapplications which could cause severe personal injury or death include, but are not limited to:
Using a beam clamp on a beam other than those described in the catalog;
•
• Using concrete inserts as anchors for pulling pipe up to the required elevation;
• Suspending clevis hangers, one under another, which could result in an accumulative load that is greater
than that which the pipe hanger will support.
Cooper B-Line pipe hanger and support products are manufactured in accordance with industry standards.
Our customers should exercise care to use these products properly so as to avoid potential accidents.
Contact Cooper B-Line for assistance with proper installation and use of the products in this catalog.

/4" to 6", OD sizes 1/4" to 65/8".
Easy one tool installation, dampens
vibration and noise, secures tubing
firmly, and protects against galvanic
reaction.
Carbon steel is used in the
manufacture of Cooper B-Line pipe
hangers and supports. Excellent
strength characteristics and
adaptability to cold forming provide a
well engineered design. By cold
forming the steel, mechanical
properties are increased, adding to
the structural integrity of the
fabricated hanger.
Stainless Steel
AISI Type 304 and Type 316 are
Technical Data
non-magnetic members of the
austenitic stainless steel group.
Several conditions make the use of
stainless steel ideal. These include
reducing long term maintenance
costs, high ambient temperatures,
appearance, and stable structural
properties such as yield strength,
and high creep resistance.
CORROSION
All metal surfaces exposed to the
environment are affected by
corrosion. Depending on the physical
properties of the metal and its
proximity to other dissimilar metals,
an electrochemical reaction may
occur which causes an attack on the
metal itself, resulting in corrosion.
Chemical corrosion is limited to
highly corrosive environments, high
temperatures, or a combination of
both.
FINISHES
Zinc Coatings
Protective zinc coatings are available
on a number of pipe hangers and
accessories in three basic forms:
Electro-galvanized, pre-galvanized,
and hot-dip galvanized after
fabrication. In all cases, the zinc
protects the steel first as a sacrificial
anode to repair bare areas on cut
edges and gouges.
When exposed to air and moisture,
zinc forms a tough, adherent protective
film consisting of a mixture of zinc
oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates.
The corrosion resistance of zinc is
directly related to its thickness and the
environment. For example a 0.2 mil
(5 µm) coating will last twice as long
as a 0.1 mil (2.5 µm) coating in the
same environment.
Electro-Galvanized
(ASTM B 633 SC1 or SC3)
An electro-galvanized process deposits
a coating of zinc on the steel by
electrolysis from a bath of zinc salts.
This coating is pure zinc and adheres
to the steel with a molecular bond. A
maximum of 0.5 mils (12.7 µm) of zinc
can be applied by this method.
coating is recommended for in-door
use in relatively dry areas.
This
Pre-Galvanized Zinc
(ASTM A 653 Coating
Designation G90)
Pre-galvanized zinc is produced by
continuously rolling the steel coils or
sheets through molten zinc at the steel
mills. This is also known as "mill-galvanized" or "hot-dipped mill galvanized".
Coils are then slit to size for fabrication
of pipe hangers. Coating thicknesses
of G90, is 0.90 ounces per square foot

Protection of cut edges with zinc coatings.
Cut edges and welded areas are
not zinc coated; however, zinc near the
uncoated metal becomes a
sacrificial anode which protects the
bare areas after a short period of time.

) of steel surface.

but is suitable for extended exposure in
dry or mildly corrosive atmospheres.
Hot-Dip Galvanized After
Fabrication (ASTM A 123)
After a pipe hanger or fitting has been
fabricated, it is completely immersed in
a bath of molten zinc. A metallurgical
bond is formed, resulting in a zinc
coating that completely coats all
surfaces, including edges. Zinc
coatings of this specification have a
minimum thickness of 1.50 ounces per
square foot (0.45 kg/m
or a total of 3.0 ounces per square foot
(0.9 kg/m2) of steel.
Hot-dip galvanized after fabrication is
recommended for outdoor exposure.
For best results, a zinc rich paint
(available from Cooper B-Line) should
be applied to field cuts. The zinc rich
paint will provide immediate protection
for field cuts and eliminate the short
time period for galvanic action to "heal"
the damaged coating.

Plastic Coating
Some products offered by Cooper
B-Line are plastic or vinyl coated for
prevention of galvanic reaction between
materials or for noise reduction. These
coated products can also be used
where contact between glass pipe and
hanger is not desirable. Felt lined
hangers may be substituted for same
purpose.
