What Is a Fig. 277 Adjustable Two Rod Roller Hanger?
An adjustable two rod roller hanger is a suspended pipe support that carries horizontal piping on a roller rather than holding the pipe in a fixed position. The roller allows the supported pipe to move longitudinally while maintaining vertical support.
The Fig. 277 uses two hanger rods to suspend the roller assembly. This arrangement provides stable support while allowing the installed elevation of the hanger assembly to be adjusted to suit the piping layout.
Why Choose a Two Rod Roller Hanger?
Allows Pipe Movement
- Supports horizontal piping
- Roller permits longitudinal movement
- Useful where piping expands or contracts
- Reduces restriction of axial pipe movement
- Suitable for piping systems requiring movable support points
Adjustable Two-Rod Support
- Suspended from two hanger rods
- Provides stable pipe support
- Allows installation height adjustment
- Useful for overhead piping systems
- Designed for properly supported horizontal pipe runs
Common Applications
Mechanical & Commercial Piping
- Heating piping
- Cooling piping
- Mechanical rooms
- Utility piping
- Commercial piping installations
Industrial Piping Systems
- Process piping
- Plant utility piping
- Industrial pipe runs
- Maintenance and replacement work
- Applications requiring controlled pipe movement
Construction & Support Design
Roller Support
- Pipe rests on the roller assembly
- Designed to carry the supported piping load
- Allows longitudinal movement of the pipe
- Useful for expansion and contraction conditions
- Helps maintain an established pipe support elevation
Two-Rod Suspension
- Uses two hanger rods for suspension
- Provides support on both sides of the roller
- Allows field adjustment during installation
- Designed for overhead pipe-support assemblies
- Rod and attachment requirements should be verified for the application
Finish Information
The Fig. 277 is available in applicable finish configurations. For hot-dipped galvanized configurations, the axle is electro-galvanized.
Confirm the required finish for the piping environment and project specification before ordering. Refer to the Empire Fig. 277 submittal for manufacturer-specific construction and finish information.
Roller Hanger vs. Fixed Pipe Hanger
Fig. 277 Roller Hanger
- Supports horizontal piping
- Pipe rests on a roller
- Allows longitudinal pipe movement
- Two-rod suspended design
- Useful where expansion or contraction occurs
Fixed Pipe Support
- Supports piping at a defined location
- Does not use a roller surface
- May restrict movement depending on support type
- Used where pipe movement does not require a roller
- Support type should match system design requirements
Where an Empire Fig. 277 Roller Hanger Makes Sense
- For suspended horizontal piping
- Where longitudinal pipe movement must be accommodated
- On piping subject to thermal expansion and contraction
- Where an adjustable two-rod support is specified
- For commercial, mechanical, utility, and industrial piping systems
- Where a roller-style support is required by the piping support design
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal pipe size before selecting the hanger.
- Verify the required hanger finish for the installation environment.
- Confirm the applicable pipe outside diameter and support requirements.
- Verify hanger rod sizing, spacing, attachment method, and support structure.
- Confirm the expected pipe movement and direction before installation.
- Review the Empire Fig. 277 submittal for dimensional and load information.
- Verify all project specifications and applicable installation requirements before use.
Product Selection Considerations
Pipe Size & Support Requirements
Select the Fig. 277 hanger that corresponds with the required nominal pipe size and piping support design. Review the manufacturer submittal to confirm dimensions and applicable load information for the selected size.
System Movement & Finish
Confirm the expected direction of pipe movement, required finish, installation environment, hanger rod requirements, and project specifications before selecting the roller hanger.
Review the Empire Fig. 277 submittal for product dimensions, load information, finish details, and additional manufacturer specifications. You can also use the GetPipe pipe chart to review common pipe diameters and wall thicknesses when confirming your piping requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Empire Fig. 277?
The Empire Fig. 277 is an adjustable two rod roller hanger designed to support horizontal piping while allowing longitudinal movement through the roller assembly.
Why is a roller used under the pipe?
The roller allows the supported pipe to move longitudinally while the hanger continues to carry the vertical piping load. This can be useful where thermal expansion or contraction causes pipe movement.
Why does the Fig. 277 use two hanger rods?
The two-rod design suspends and stabilizes the roller assembly from both sides while allowing the installed support elevation to be adjusted.
Can this hanger be used where piping expands and contracts?
The roller design is intended for applications where longitudinal pipe movement must be accommodated. The complete piping support system should be designed for the expected movement and operating conditions.
What should I know about the hot-dipped galvanized version?
For hot-dipped galvanized configurations, the axle is electro-galvanized. Review the Empire Fig. 277 submittal for additional finish and construction information.
How do I select the correct Fig. 277 size?
Start with the nominal pipe size and then confirm the corresponding hanger dimensions and load requirements in the Empire Fig. 277 submittal before ordering.
Where can I find the Fig. 277 dimensions and load information?
The Empire Fig. 277 Adjustable Two Rod Roller Hanger submittal is linked directly above and should be used to review manufacturer-specific dimensions and technical information.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the nominal pipe size, required finish, pipe outside diameter, support requirements, hanger rod requirements, expected pipe movement, and applicable project specifications before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Select the correct Fig. 277 configuration for the required nominal pipe size.
- Confirm the required finish before ordering.
- Hot-dipped galvanized configurations use an electro-galvanized axle.
- Review the Empire Fig. 277 submittal for dimensional and load information.
- Verify hanger rods, structural attachments, spacing, and support requirements for the installation.
- Confirm expected pipe movement, operating conditions, and applicable project specifications before service.
