Block Style Hangers

Block style hangers provide a versatile method for supporting, guiding, and anchoring pipe and tubing in industrial and sanitary piping systems. Their modular construction uses two clamp halves around the pipe or tube, allowing the assembly to be configured as either a fixed anchor or a guide that accommodates axial movement caused by thermal expansion.

These hanger systems are suitable for applications ranging from sanitary process piping and utility systems to industrial pipe, tube, cable, and hose installations.

Key Benefits

  • Reliable Pipe and Tube Support — Provides secure, consistent support for sanitary tubing, process piping, utility lines, and industrial piping systems while helping maintain proper alignment throughout the installation.

  • Anchor or Guide Functionality — Available in configurations that can either firmly anchor piping in place or guide the pipe while allowing controlled axial movement.

  • Accommodates Thermal Expansion — Guide configurations allow piping to expand and contract longitudinally as temperatures change, helping reduce stress on piping, fittings, equipment connections, and support structures.

  • Smooth Bore Design — Smooth internal contact surfaces provide continuous support around the outside diameter of the pipe or tube while minimizing crevices and areas where contaminants can accumulate.

  • Adjustable Installation — Threaded-rod and similar mounting configurations allow installers to adjust elevation, alignment, and piping slope as required.

  • Consistent Pipe Alignment — Helps maintain the intended position of piping throughout long runs and around equipment connections.

  • Reduced Installation Complexity — Modular components allow support assemblies to be configured for different structural conditions and piping layouts.
