Overview
The hinge split ring is a fast-install variant of the classic split ring hanger. The ring is hinged on one side — it swings open, wraps around the tube, and bolts closed on the other side, then hangs from a threaded rod. The copper-plated (Copper Gard) finish matches copper tube to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hinge split ring?
It is a split ring with a hinged side that swings open, so you can wrap it around the tube and bolt it closed quickly — saving labor over a standard two-bolt split ring.
Why copper-plated?
Bare steel against copper tube causes galvanic corrosion. A copper-plated hanger matches the tube and eliminates that contact reaction.
