Jensen Swing SH114 - 2 3/8 O.D. Ductile Pipe Swing Hanger w/Shackle Pendulum
Product Description
This is a galvanized ductile iron swing hanger with a shackle pendulum, opening 1/2" wide. These hangers are cast in two halves. The lower half of the swing hanger body has a shackle pendulum with a sintered bronze bearing incorporated into it to reduce wear. These bearings do not need to be oiled as the bronze is impregnated with oil. It has a .51 ID oil light bearing and axle bolt with lock tight nut and accepts a 12mm bolt. The pendulum is 1" wide and has a shackle with bolt so that there is no need for a connecting S-hook. The shackle pendulum is tamper resistant. It requires an allen wrench with a special pin hole head. The two halves of the hangers are bolted together with a 12mm carriage bolt and a hex lock tight nut. The pendulum is held to the hanger with a #12 axle bolt with a long shoulder, so the bearing does not ride on the threads. It also has a lock tight nut. This hanger fits a standard schedule 40 two inch pipe. Do not torque more than 25ft-lbs. when installing. This product should last 2 years in harsh conditions and up to 5 years in optimal conditions. Some conditions may require replacement sooner. Tensile strength is 7900 lbs. Sold as each.
This is for children 0 - 12 years old only. Adults should supervise children at all times. Do not allow children to use unsafely. Do not allow it to be used if damaged.
Testing Information
SH114 Tensile 6-4-15
IMPORTANT: Please read for important information. In this material we have tried to provide some requirements stated in the CPSC Handbooks, ASTM F2373-11, F1487-11 and F1148-09. However, we in no way intend for this to be a complete list of requirements. Also these publications are updated frequently with changes, therefore, you should read these publications yourself to determine if any part or installation could prove a danger to a child.
To help keep children safe from harm, review installation and maintenance instructions before installing equipment. Our website also has a "Product Testing Information" page. All products are tested for lead, phthalates and tensile strength.
Installation: Our parts are sold as either replacement parts or components of a set, unless you are buying our Metal Frame Set, therefore these parts need to be installed according to the sets installation instructions.
This hanger is made for a schedule 40 2" I.D. pipe which is 2 3/8" O.D. Determine spacing of swing hangers on pipe by consulting either Figure 23, Table 7 for commercial swings, or for residential sets see spacing dimensions for ASTM 1148 diagram. Mark pipe with correct spacing. Place the two halves of the hanger around the pipe. The shackle pendulum will be facing downwards. The side bolts are placed with the heads on the top of the hanger and the threads facing downwards with the nuts on the bottom. Tighten the side bolts to touch and using no more than 25 lbs. of torque. The top and bottom hanger do not have to be flush. There can be a space between the two halves. After tightening, the threads should not be showing more than two threads past the nut, and the hanger should fit snuggly on the pipe. Grease or oil bushings if squeaking noises are heard. Unscrew bolt, put last link of chain on bolt and then screw bolt back in using the H175 wrench. Check that the bolt is attached with no more than 2 threads showing beyond nut.
Protective surfacing that meets ASTM F1292 must be installed under swing set and extends at least six feet from the sides of the set and twice the height of the top bar in the front and back of swing set. Protective surfacing is one of the most important things that you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious injuries.
The new CPSC standard states the owner/operator of the swing set needs to post warning signs outside the use zone that are readily visible to the intended viewer and alert them to the potential hazard in time to take appropriate action. This message may be on either a sign or label outside the use zone. Signs should be posted that state the appropriate age group for the swing set. Not for Adults. Adults should supervise children at all times. Do not allow children to stand on or use unsafely. Do not allow set to be used if damaged. Remove helmets, drawstrings or accessories around the neck which are all known to create head entrapment or entanglement hazards. Where applicable, Hot play surfaces are known to reach temperatures high enough to cause serious burns to children generally less than 4 years of age.
Specifications for all warning signs or labels should conform to ANSI Z535.1 and ANSI Z535.1 or ANSI Z535.1 in the following areas: legibility, type of lettering, clarity of message and symbol, color specifications and work message and visibility. The labels or signs should be durable and conform to UL 969. It has been and continues to be the responsibility of the owner/operator to replace signs or labels or both should they become illegible, destroyed or removed.
Maintenance: At beginning and end of each play season and once a month during play season, check for sharp edges and/or cracks in hanger, paying particular attention to surface around bolt holes. Check to see if oil lite bearing in swing hanger pendulum is worn or cracking. When worn or cracked, replace pendulum. Check for vandalism. Replace parts if necessary. Check to make sure lock nuts are tight. Maintain detailed inspection and maintenance records for public-use playground equipment.
Any damage from vandalism, abuse or misuse VOIDS all warranties.

Used just one to hang a swing from a beam on my front porch. It's quiet and I can tell how sturdy it is. I have no concerns sitting on my swing with my kiddos about weight because I know this can handle it. I will definitely look at this company for play ground needs in the future.

These hangers were as advertised. They are certainly heavy duty, and the provided lag screws are rated for use in pressure treated wood (which was my application). I'm using these as swing hangers for my kids. 2 normal swings, 1 glider swing that both sit on. Installation was moderately tricky as the holes weren't a standard measurement on center (2-1/4 I think? Don't quote me. But an even 2 would have been easier to measure and mark) and a pre-drilled guide hole is necessary. I think I used 1/4 drill bit. My impact driver made light work of the lags with a socket adapter. My kids have been using them almost daily for the past month and they have held up well! I would definitely recommend these hangers.
