OATEY 33692 3/4" Copper Plated Bell Hanger

The Oatey 33692 bell hanger is sized for 3/4 inch pipe. It clamps the pipe against the hanger body with two clamp screws, so it is a fixed-size support, not an adjustable one. For any other pipe diameter you need the bell hanger in that size rather than this one.

13/16 inch. The 33692 bell hanger is built with a 13/16 inch standoff from the mounting surface, which is what keeps a copper line off the framing or block and leaves room for the pipe to move without rubbing. That standoff also matters when you are stacking a supply and return on the same wall and need consistent spacing before the drywall goes on.

Yes. The mounting screw on the 33692 has a pierce point, so it drives into light gauge metal studs without a pilot hole. It works the same on wood framing. That is the main reason to reach for this one on a commercial job where the walls are steel stud.

No, the fasteners come with it. Each 33692 bell hanger includes two clamp screws and one 2-1/2 inch mounting screw, so the only thing you are supplying is the driver. Nothing else is required to hang a 3/4 inch line with it.

It should not. The mounting screw on the 33692 sits recessed so it does not contact the piping, which keeps the screw head from bearing on the tube wall. The pipe is held by the two clamp screws instead. That detail is worth knowing if you have had hangers gouge soft copper on past jobs.

Copper plated. The 33692 is a plated steel bell hanger, which is why it takes a pierce point screw into steel stud. The copper plating is there to keep a plain steel support from sitting directly against a copper line.

The 33692 bell hanger weighs 0.094 lb apiece, so a hundred of them run under ten pounds. Useful if you are pulling a stocking order for a multi-family rough-in and need to figure shipping weight on a few hundred hangers.
