Valve and Fitting Industry, Inc.
B-Line is a leading manufacturer and fabricator of metal products used in the support of pipe and equipment
for industrial, residential, commercial, utility, and OEM installations. B-Line is proud of the exacting standards
of research, design, engineering, and manufacturing that go into each and every product that comprise our
pipe hanger product line. Our customers have access to the most complete support systems offered in the
industry, including pipe hangers, metal framing, cable tray, slotted angle, seismic bracing, fasteners, telecom,
enclosures and anchors.
Many of B-Line's products are listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. and FM Global approved for fire
sprinkler system installations. All B-Line products are manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards set
for their design and manufacture.
B-Line products are produced in five modern plants consisting of over 1,000,000 square feet. These facilities
are located in Highland, Illinois; Troy, Illinois; Reno, Nevada; Corona, California and Sherman, Texas.
Regional sales and distribution centers are located throughout the United States stocking standard B-Line
products for quick service and delivery.
This catalog is designed to be helpful to engineers and contractors in the application and selection of pipe
hangers, supports and seismic bracing for construction and maintenance.
If a unique application requires a special product not included in this catalog, B-Line engineering personnel
are ready to furnish design consultation and realistic material estimates. In addition, sales representatives with
engineering expertise are located throughout the United States and abroad for your convenience.
WARNING
All hanger products in this catalog are intended for installation and service as illustrated or described. Do not
use them for any purposes other than those described in this catalog. Products that are used for unintended
purposes could fail, resulting in severe personal injury or death.
Examples of misapplications which could cause severe personal injury or death include, but are not limited to:
• Using a beam clamp on a beam other than those described in the catalog;
• Using concrete inserts as anchors for pulling pipe up to the required elevation;
• Suspending clevis hangers, one under another, which could result in an accumulative load that is
greater than that which the pipe hanger will support.
B-Line pipe hanger and support products are manufactured in accordance with industry standards. Our
customers should exercise care to use these products properly so as to avoid potential accidents. Contact
B-Line for assistance with proper installation and use of the products in this catalog.

Cooper B-Line reserves the right to change the specifications, materials, equipment, prices or the
availability of products at any time without prior notice. While every effort has been made to assure the
accuracy of information contained in this catalog at the time of publication, Cooper B-Line is not

MATERIALS
Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is used in the
manufacture of B-Line pipe hangersand supports. Excellent strengthcharacteristics and adaptability tocold forming provide a well
engineered design. By cold formingthe steel, mechanical properties areincreased, adding to the structuralintegrity of the fabricated hanger.
Stainless Steel
AISI Type 304 and Type 316 arenon-magnetic members of theaustenitic stainless steel group.Several conditions make the use ofstainless steel ideal. These includereducing long term maintenancecosts, high ambient temperatures,appearance, and stable structuralproperties such as yield strength,and high creep resistance.
CORROSION
All metal surfaces exposed to theenvironment are affected by
corrosion. Depending on the physicalproperties of the metal and itsproximity to other dissimilar metals,an electrochemical reaction mayoccur which causes an attack on themetal itself, resulting in corrosion.Chemical corrosion is limited tohighly corrosive environments, hightemperatures, or a combination ofboth.
FINISHES
Zinc Coatings
Protective zinc coatings are availableon a number of pipe hangers andaccessories in three basic forms:
but is suitable for extended exposure indry or mildly corrosive atmospheres.
Hot-Dip Galvanized After
Fabrication (ASTM A123)
After a pipe hanger or fitting has beenfabricated, it is completely immersed ina bath of molten zinc. A metallurgicalbond is formed, resulting in a zinccoating that completely coats allsurfaces, including edges. Zinccoatings of this specification have aminimum thickness of 1.50 ounces persquare foot (0.45 kg/m2) on each side
or a total of 3.0 ounces per square foot(0.9 kg/m2) of steel.
Hot-dip galvanized after fabrication isrecommended for outdoor exposure.For best results, a zinc rich paint(available from B-Line) should beapplied to field cuts. The zinc rich paintwill provide immediate protection forfield cuts and eliminate the short timeperiod for galvanic action to "heal" thedamaged coating.
Plastic Coating
Some products offered by B-Line areplastic or vinyl coated for prevention ofgalvanic reaction between materials orfor noise reduction. These coatedproducts can also be used wherecontact between glass pipe and hangeris not desirable. Felt lined hangers maybe substituted for same purpose.
Red Primer
A corrosion resistant metal primercontaining rust inhibitive pigments.Electro-galvanized, pre-galvanized, and
hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. Inall cases, the zinc protects the steelfirst as a sacrificial anode to repair bareareas on cut edges and gouges.When exposed to air and moisture,zinc forms a tough, adherent protectivefilm consisting of a mixture of zincoxides, hydroxides, and carbonates.The corrosion resistance of zinc isdirectly related to its thickness and theenvironment. For example a 0.2 mil(5 μm) coating will last twice as long asa 0.1 mil (2.5 μm) coating in the sameenvironment.
Electro-Galvanized
(ASTM B633 SC1 or SC3)
An electro-galvanized process depositsa coating of zinc on the steel byelectrolysis from a bath of zinc salts.This coating is pure zinc and adheresto the steel with a molecular bond. Amaximum of 0.5 mils (12.7 μm) of zinccan be applied by this method. Thiscoating is recommended for in-dooruse in relatively dry areas.
Pre-Galvanized Zinc
(ASTM A653 Coating
Designation G90)
Pre-galvanized zinc is produced bycontinuously rolling the steel coils orsheets through molten zinc at the steelmills. This is also known as "mill-galvanized" or "hot-dipped mill galva-nized". Coils are then slit to size forfabrication of pipe hangers. Coatingthicknesses of G90, is 0.90 ounces persquare foot (0.27 kg/m2) of steel
surface.
Cut edges and welded areas are not zinc coated; however, zinc near theuncoated metal becomes a
sacrificial anode which protects thebare areas after a short period of time.Pre-galvanized steel is not
generally recommended for use outdoors in industrial environments,

Torque
The torque values in this catalog are to be used as a guide only. The relationship between the applied torque or
torque wrench reading and the actual tension created in the bolt may be substantially different. Important factors
affecting torque-tension relationships include friction under the bolt head or nut, hole tolerances, and torque
wrench tolerances. Accuracy of many commercial torque wrenches may vary as much as plus or minus 25%.

reinforcement.Technical Data
Beam clamps offered in this section are designed to provide attachment of hanger rods to structural members withoutdrilling or welding. A wide range of types and sizes are available for various applications.
Materials
Carbon Steel, Malleable Iron and Forged Steel are used in the manufacturing of beam clamps and accessories. Stainlesssteel and other materials are available.
Finishes
The standard finishes for mechanical supports are plain steel (oil coated) sometimes referred to as black and Electro-Galvanized Zinc (ASTM B633 SC3). Hot-Dip Electro-Galvanized After Fabrication (ASTM A123), Red Primer, Plastic Coating andDURA-GREEN™. Other special coatings are available upon request.
Note: Due to the design of some products, (threads, connecting hardware, swivels, etc.) items may
or may not be uniformly coated with special finishes. In some cases, the hanger itself may be coated, however, thehardware may be supplied Electro-Plated, copper plated, or in stainless steel.
