Nibco B213850 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Nibco 724-5-A Hy-Set hanger attach to a ceiling joist?
The Hy-Set hanger has mounting ears on the body that take a nail or screw directly into a ceiling support, so no separate clamp or rod assembly is needed. The pipe itself runs into a solder cup on the fitting, meaning the hanger becomes part of the soldered run rather than just clamping around it.
2) What pipe sizes does the Nibco 724-5-A hanger come in?
Three sizes: 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch. Order by the copper tube size of the run you are supporting, since the solder cup is sized to that tube.
3) Can I use the Nibco 724-5-A Hy-Set hanger on a potable water line?
No. Use in U.S. drinking water applications is prohibited after January 3, 2014. It is a cast bronze fitting in ASTM B584 alloy C84400, which is a leaded red brass alloy. For potable work you need a lead-free hanger. The 724-5-A is for non-potable service.
4) What systems is the Nibco 724-5-A Hy-Set hanger rated for?
It is listed for commercial plumbing, fire protection, heating, HVAC, industrial, irrigation and residential plumbing systems. The one exclusion that matters is potable water, which is prohibited after January 3, 2014.
5) Is the 724-5-A hanger soldered in like a coupling, or does it slip over the pipe?
It is soldered. The fitting carries a solder cup, so the tube is brazed or soldered into the hanger the same way you would make any copper joint. Material and workmanship are per ASME B16.18, the standard for cast copper alloy solder joint pressure fittings, so standard solder joint prep and cup depth apply. Plan for it at the layout stage, not as an afterthought once the run is already made up.
6) Will the 724-5-A hanger hold up in a run with aggressive water chemistry?
The cast bronze body is dezincification resistant, which means it will not lose zinc and weaken in water that would attack a higher-zinc brass. Combined with copper's durability that makes it suitable for long-life commercial and industrial runs, subject to the non-potable restriction.
7) Is the Nibco Hy-Set hanger acceptable for a LEED or sustainable build spec?
The bronze casting is copper alloy, and copper is reusable at end of life, which is why it gets specified on sustainable projects. Nibco manufactures its copper fittings in an ISO 9001 certified facility. Note the fitting cannot go on potable lines in the U.S.
8) What are the Nibco part numbers for each size of the 724-5-A Hy-Set hanger?
1/2 inch is B213750, 3/4 inch is B213800 and 1 inch is B213850. Distributors and procurement buyers ordering the full run of sizes should quote all three.
