A clevis hanger for supporting conduit comprising a lower U-shaped member having a pair of generally parallel arms, each arm having an upper end, and an upper hanger member having a pair of spaced-apart arms depending generally downward therefrom. Each arm of the upper hanger member has an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portions of are horizontally spaced apart such that the lower portions are located adjacent the arms of the lower hanger member. Each of the arms of the lower hanger member and each of the lower portions of the arms of the upper hanger member has an opening therein. The openings are in generally horizontal alignment with one another when the upper and lower hanger members are connected. An elongate fastener is adapted to be inserted through the aligned openings to connect the upper and lower hanger members.
