Sioux Chief 55334 CTS J-Hook Tube Hanger, Black ABS

The Sioux Chief 55334 HangsTuff J-Hook Tube Hanger is a rough-in support bracket built for hanging CTS copper, PEX, or CPVC tube beneath floor joists or along framing members. This family of J-hook hangers is available in sizes from 1-1/2" to 3" CTS, letting plumbers match the hanger to the exact tube diameter running through a given rough-in. Molded from 100% corrosion-proof, impact-resistant ABS, this black J-hook hanger resists the rust and pitting that plague metal clips in damp crawlspace and basement environments. Each hanger ships with two ring-shank nails included for quick, secure fastening directly to wood framing, making it a practical choice for plumbers running supply or DWV-adjacent tube lines in new construction or renovation work.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available in sizes from 1-1/2" to 3" CTS to fit common copper, PEX, or CPVC tube diameters found in rough-in plumbing.
  • Durable Construction: Molded from 100% corrosion-proof, impact-resistant ABS plastic, eliminating the rust issues common with metal pipe hangers in wet or humid cavities.
  • J-Hook Design: Open J-hook profile allows the installer to drop tube into place quickly without threading pipe through a closed loop, speeding up rough-in labor.
  • Included Fasteners: Two ring-shank nails are supplied with each hanger for immediate attachment to joists, studs, or other wood framing without a separate hardware run.
  • Finish: Black ABS finish stands up to job-site handling and stays stable behind walls and under floors where it will never be seen after rough-in is closed up.
  • Single-Unit Packaging: Packaged 1 EA per hanger, making it easy to stock the exact quantity needed for a given run of tube.

Technical Specifications

  • Material: ABS
  • Color: Black
  • Tube Size Options: 1-1/2" CTS, 3" CTS
  • Packaging: 1 EA
  • Fasteners Included: Two ring-shank nails

Typical Applications

  • Supporting CTS copper tube runs under floors and along joists
  • Hanging PEX tube in residential and light commercial rough-in plumbing
  • Supporting CPVC tube in basement and crawlspace installations
  • New construction tube support where corrosion-resistant hangers are preferred over metal
  • Renovation work requiring quick, nail-on tube support without threading pipe through closed hangers

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds the HangsTuff J-Hook from 100% corrosion-proof, impact-resistant ABS so it holds up in the damp, often inaccessible spaces where tube hangers get installed and forgotten. With fasteners included and a simple open-hook design, it gives plumbers a fast, reliable way to support CTS copper, PEX, or CPVC tube across a 1-1/2" to 3" size range on rough-in jobs without worrying about rust streaking or corroding hardware over time.

Sioux Chief 553-6 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What tube sizes does the Sioux Chief 553 J-hook tube hanger come in?
Two orderable sizes: 1-1/2 inch CTS (part 553-6) and 3 inch CTS (part 553-8). Size is called out in CTS (copper tube size), so match it to the nominal tube size stamped on the copper, PEX, or CPVC you are running, not to the outside diameter you measure with a tape.
2) Do I need to buy nails separately for these plastic J-hook pipe hangers?
No. Each hanger ships with two ring-shank nails for fastening directly to joists, studs, or other wood framing. Nothing else is required for a wood-frame rough-in. For steel stud or concrete you would need different fasteners, since the supplied nails are for wood.
3) Will a Sioux Chief 553 J-hook hold PEX, or is it only for copper?
It supports CTS copper, PEX, or CPVC tube. Because it is sized in CTS, PEX and CPVC in the same nominal size drop straight into the hook. The ABS body also means no galvanic concern against copper the way a dissimilar metal clip can create.
4) Should I use an open J-hook or a closed-loop pipe clamp for a joist run?
An open J-hook like the Sioux Chief 553 lets you lay tube in from below after the line is routed, so it is the faster choice when you are running long horizontal lines under floor joists and do not want to thread pipe through closed rings. A closed loop or clamp is the better pick where the tube must be captured positively, such as a riser or anywhere upward movement or vibration could lift the line out of an open hook.
5) Will a plastic tube hanger rust in a damp crawlspace or basement?
No. The 553 J-hook is molded from 100 percent corrosion-proof, impact-resistant ABS, so it will not rust or pit the way a steel or galvanized clip can in a wet crawlspace, basement, or closed wall cavity. That is the main reason it gets specified over metal clips in high-humidity cavities that nobody will open again after rough-in.
6) Can I use a 3 inch J-hook to carry a smaller tube to save on stocking two sizes?
Not a good idea. The hook is sized to the tube so the line sits captured in the cradle; a 1-1/2 inch tube in a 3 inch hook can shift, sag between supports, and rattle. Order the 553-6 for 1-1/2 inch CTS and the 553-8 for 3 inch CTS and keep both on the truck.
