    摘要: A method of securing a pipe in a hanger includes supporting the pipe with a suspension member; inserting a threaded rod through the suspension member; placing a lock tab washer on the threaded rod; threading a nut on the threaded rod; preventing the lock tab washer from rotating with respect to the suspension member by folding a first tab of the lock tab washer over a side edge of the suspension member; and preventing the nut from rotating with respect to the lock tab washer by folding a second tab of the lock tab washer over a circumferential side of the nut.

    摘要: A pipe coupling includes a coupling segment having an inner surface defining a ring groove proximate to an axial end of the coupling segment, the ring groove comprising a groove bottom surface extending from a first end of the coupling segment to a second end of the coupling segment; and a pipe connection ring disposed within the ring groove, the pipe connection ring defining a body with two ring ends and an outer surface, the outer surface of the pipe connection ring contacting the groove bottom surface at a midpoint between the first end of the coupling segment and the second end of the coupling segment when the pipe connection ring is in an uncompressed condition. The pipe connection ring may be a split ring defining an opening between the two ring ends, which may be square, tapered, angled, or stepped.
