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.

Recommended maximum support span between hangers - and rod sizes for straight horizontal pipes.

Most often, in plumbing, you will find the hanger does the sizing for you. A two-inch iron clevis serving a two-inch ID pipe will more often than not offer a 3/8" rod. The larger the pipe, the larger the rod requirement.
If memory serves, 3/8" will commonly stop somewhere at two or two and a half inches, and then the rod size increases from somewhere around that size.
