B-LINE FIG 1NFPA-3-PLN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What threaded rod size does the B-Line FIG 1NFPA clevis hanger take?
The Eaton B-Line FIG 1NFPA-3-PLN clevis hanger is built for 3/8"-16 threaded rod. That is the rod thread you need overhead, so the drop rod, the coupling and the rod-attachment anchor all have to be 3/8"-16 as well. If your hanger rods are already run in 1/2"-13, this hanger will not thread onto them.
2) What does a plain finish mean on this clevis hanger, and can I use it outdoors?
Plain is bare steel with no galvanizing or paint on it. That is fine for dry interior runs above a ceiling or in a mechanical room, but it has no corrosion protection, so for exterior work, parking structures, wet pipe in unheated space or anywhere with washdown you want a galvanized or epoxy-coated hanger instead.
3) How much clearance do I need above the pipe for a B-Line clevis hanger?
Allow for the hanger's overall height of 5.94 inches plus whatever rod drop you are running. The body measures 3.5 inches across and 3.5 inches deep, so in tight plenum space or between joists, check that dimension against the pipe centerline before you set your rod locations.
4) What else do I need to order with a clevis hanger to hang pipe?
The clevis hanger is the pipe-carrying part only. You still need 3/8"-16 threaded rod cut to your drop, the nuts, and a structural attachment at the top, a beam clamp, a C-clamp with retaining strap, or a concrete insert or anchor depending on whether you are hitting steel, deck or slab. None of that comes with the hanger.
5) Clevis hanger or a split ring hanger, which should I use for suspended pipe?
A clevis like the FIG 1NFPA cradles the pipe in a two-piece steel strap closed with a bolt, so you can set the pipe in place and adjust the elevation with the rod nut, and it is the standard choice where a listed hanger is required on sprinkler mains and branch lines. A split ring is quicker on small-diameter domestic water and DWV where adjustability and listing are not a concern. For fire protection work, stay with the clevis.
6) Will the B-Line FIG 1NFPA-3-PLN match the hangers already installed on the rest of my run?
Match it on three things: the FIG 1NFPA figure number, the pipe size in the model suffix, and the plain finish. Hangers are sized per pipe diameter, so a hanger from this family sized for one pipe size will not close around a different size. If the existing rods are 3/8"-16 and the installed hangers are plain steel FIG 1NFPA, the FIG 1NFPA-3-PLN is the same part in that family.
