Rod size for pipe support

trivetman

whats the proper rod size for a 2” iron clevis hanger? Im assuming 3/8 would work fine but thought Id better check if it needs to be larger.

⅜" is fine until you get to Really Heavy. It'll be fine for something that small.

EBEBRATT-Ed

3/8" is fine up to 2" and commonly used for larger sizes although 2 1/2" black would technically require 1/2" rod.

Because of the weight differences between plastic, copper and black pipe the hole or threaded portion of hangers will vary with the material being installed
