PIPE EXPANSION HANGERS

HES Hangers are installed at riser suspension points to control load shifts as the riser expands or contracts. If a 120 foot(37m) steel riser goes through a temperature increase of 150°F(66°C), the piping will expand 1.4″(36mm). If the piping had an anchor point in the basement, the piping bracket at the 60’(18m) elevation and the top bracket would rise 0.7″(18mm) and 1.4″(36mm), respectively. This travel would transfer the entire piping weight to the basement as the piping would lift off non-resilient support points. Standard 1″(25mm) deflection hangers would lose 70% of their load at the 60 foot(18m) point and the complete load at the top of the run. Therefore, HES Hangers are needed because of their higher initial deflection and travel capability. If HES Hangers with 4″(102mm) initial deflection were selected, the hanger at the top would lose only 35% of its load and the intermediate hanger only 18%. This would substantially reduce the load shift to the basement anchor.
