Shop clevis hangers for supporting suspended pipe in commercial, mechanical, plumbing, and industrial piping systems. Clevis hangers are commonly used with threaded rod to suspend horizontal pipe runs from overhead structural supports. PipingNow offers Empire Industries clevis hangers in sizes from 1/2 in to 20 in, with options available in 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, copper-coated styles, and select AIS-compliant models.
A clevis hanger is designed to cradle the pipe while allowing the hanger assembly to connect to threaded rod above. This makes it one of the most common pipe hanger styles for overhead pipe support. Clevis hangers are often used for water lines, mechanical piping, process piping, and general pipe support applications where the pipe needs to be suspended below a beam, ceiling, trapeze support, or other structural attachment point.
What Is a Clevis Hanger?
A clevis hanger is a pipe support component with a yoke-style body and a lower support strap or bolt that holds the pipe in place. The top of the hanger connects to threaded rod, allowing the pipe to be suspended from an overhead support. This design gives installers a practical way to support horizontal pipe runs while maintaining adjustability during installation.
Clevis hangers are different from beam clamps, pipe clamps, and riser clamps. Beam clamps attach to structural beams, pipe clamps secure pipe to a surface or support, and riser clamps support vertical pipe runs. Clevis hangers are mainly used for suspended horizontal pipe support.
Clevis Hanger Sizes
This collection includes clevis hangers from 1/2 in through 20 in. Common sizes include 1/2 in, 3/4 in, 1 in, 1-1/4 in, 1-1/2 in, 2 in, 2-1/2 in, 3 in, 4 in, 6 in, 8 in, 10 in, 12 in, 14 in, 16 in, 18 in, and 20 in. Use the size filters on this page to narrow the collection to the clevis hanger size needed for your pipe support application.
When choosing a clevis hanger, match the hanger size to the pipe size being supported. The threaded rod size, support spacing, pipe weight, fluid weight, insulation, and project requirements should also be reviewed before selecting the final hanger assembly.
Clevis Hanger Materials
PipingNow offers clevis hangers in multiple material options to match different jobsite and environmental requirements. 304 stainless steel clevis hangers are a strong general-purpose stainless option for many pipe support applications. 316 stainless steel clevis hangers provide added corrosion resistance and are often preferred for harsher environments, washdown areas, coastal projects, and industrial applications where corrosion resistance is a priority.
This collection also includes copper-coated clevis hanger options for copper tube support applications. Select AIS-compliant clevis hangers are available for projects with domestic sourcing requirements.
Load Ratings and Support Requirements
Clevis hanger load ratings can vary by hanger size, material, series, rod size, and manufacturer specifications. Before ordering, verify the required load rating for the full hanger assembly, including the clevis hanger, threaded rod, beam attachment, anchors, and any connected support hardware.
For best results, confirm the pipe outside diameter, pipe material, filled pipe weight, insulation requirements, hanger spacing, and project specification before selecting a clevis hanger. If a project requires a specific maximum load, material certification, or AIS-compliant product, review the individual product details or request documentation before purchasing.

How to Choose the Right Clevis Hanger
Start by selecting the correct pipe size. Next, choose the material based on the environment and project requirements. Stainless steel clevis hangers are often selected for corrosion resistance, while copper-coated options are commonly used with copper tube. For domestic sourcing requirements, use the AIS Compliant filter to view eligible clevis hanger options.
Also confirm that the threaded rod, beam clamp, anchor, or support attachment used with the clevis hanger is compatible with the application. The full support assembly should be selected based on the pipe size, load requirement, installation location, and project specifications.
