Gripple Y-Pipe Hanger Kit | Twin Pipe Hanger with 1 m of Adjustable Wire
A complete drop for two pipes, in one part number. A 200 mm bracket with an M8 stud at each end sits on a wire rope Y, and above it runs 1 m of wire through a Gripple fastener. Fix the top of the wire to the soffit, push the free end through the Gripple, and pull it to height - the fastener grips on its own and holds. No rod to cut, no channel to make up, and one anchor instead of two.
No MOQ - Buy a Single Kit
ONE KIT, NO PACK QUANTITIES, NO TRADE ACCOUNT
• Sold singly: buy one to finish a run, or buy the whole job. No box quantities and no minimum order.
• Cheaper than two drops: a pair of separate wire hangers costs more than this kit before you have added any bracket, any wire or the second anchor.
• Half the drilling: two pipes from one fixing point instead of two separate drops.
• Height set by hand: the Gripple fastener is pulled to length and locks itself. No threading, no cutting, no adjustment nuts.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: HANGER AND BRACKET - NO ANCHOR OR PIPE CLAMPS
The kit gives you the 200 mm stud bracket, the wire rope Y and 1 m of wire with the Gripple fastener fitted. The anchor or fixing that takes the top of the wire is not included, and neither are the pipe clamps that screw onto the M8 studs - both are chosen by the installer to suit the structure and the pipe. Pipework shown in the images is for demonstration purposes.
Why use a Y-Pipe hanger kit?
Two parallel pipes are normally supported one of two ways. Either each pipe gets its own drop, which means two anchors, two hangers and twice the work at height. Or they share a trapeze, which means cutting strut channel to length, deburring it, and often a hot works permit before the saw comes out.
This kit replaces both, and it arrives ready to hang. The spacing is set by the bracket rather than measured on site, the wire Y shares the load between the two studs, and the drop is set by pulling wire through the fastener rather than by cutting anything to length. If the ceiling height changes along the run, the next kit simply gets pulled to a different length.
Where is the Y-Pipe hanger kit used?
Anywhere pipes run in pairs: heating and chilled water flow and return, domestic hot and cold, condensate and small-bore plant connections. It suits ceiling voids, corridors, risers and plant rooms, and it is particularly useful in refurbishment, where there is little room to drill and hot works are restricted.
How to use?
- Fix the top of the wire to your anchor point, using the termination that suits the structure.
- Feed the free end of the wire through the Gripple fastener and pull it up to roughly the height you need. The fastener grips as you pull and holds on its own.
- Let the bracket hang free and check it sits level, then pull the wire a little further to fine-tune the drop.
- Screw a pipe clamp onto each M8 stud, sized to the pipe it will carry.
- Seat each pipe in its clamp, tighten, and check both pipes for line and level before loading the run.
To let wire back out, the fastener is released with a Gripple key rather than by pulling against it. The studs are M8, so the pipe diameter is set by the clamp you fit rather than by the hanger itself.

📢 Technical & Safety Disclaimer:
The Safe Working Loads above are stated at a 5:1 safety factor and apply to the hanger supplied in this kit. A suspended run is only as strong as its weakest element: the anchor or structural fixing that takes the top of the wire, and the pipe clamps fitted to the studs, are selected by the installer and fall outside these figures. Responsibility and liability for system safety and load integrity remain with the user.
