New Cooper B-Line One Hole Hanger & Restrainer Reduces Installation
Cost, Saves Time with Single Fastener Solution
New product is the only one fastener solution available for CPVC and steel piping installations in
concrete.
HIGHLAND, IL October 9, 2012 – Cooper B-Line, a global provider of innovative, labor-saving support
systems and enclosure solutions for engineered facility subsystem applications, has developed an
industry first with its One Hole Hanger & Restrainer, Figure 22L2. As the only single fastener solution
available for supporting CPVC and IPS piping to concrete ceilings, the Fig 22L2 features flared edges to
help protect plastic pipe, no compressive loading of the pipe, and is cULus listed as a hanger and
restrainer per NFPA 13 requirements.
The Figure 22L2 is designed to reduce installation time and allows for an easy, one-fastener attachment
for CPVC and IPS systems to concrete ceilings. It is available in sizes ranging from ¾” to 2” and can
support pipes vertically or horizontally for walls or ceilings. Thanks to its unique design, it also allows
installers to mount closer to fittings and has no compression value on CPVC systems.
“With the introduction of our new One Hole Hanger and Restrainer, we are able to provide installers with
one hanger that can be used for both IPS and CPVC piping,” said Daniel Castillo, President of Cooper
B-Line. “Additionally, by cutting the total components used in half, installers can save time and money.
This industry first allows our end users to do more with less.”
The Figure 22L2 provides the required load of 345 lbs for CPVC piping and five times the weight of
water filled pipe (spacing used) plus 250 lbs for IPS Systems. It can also be installed into wood or steel
making it a versatile choice for mechanical and fire sprinkler applications.
