This pipe u shaped hangrail connects between two pipe style outrigger uprights and creates a curved 24" garment bar that pulls merchandise forward off the wall surface. The U shape positions garments at a slight forward angle — easier to browse than flat side-hung garments against a flat wall. Select your finish from the dropdown — matte black, white, or raw steel. All three share the same 24" width, 2.66 lb weight, and pipe style slot compatibility. This hangrail fits pipe style outriggers only and is not compatible with universal wall standards.

U Shape vs Straight Bar: Why Curved Hangrails Browse Better
A straight horizontal bar holds garments flat against the wall. The U-shaped pipe hangrail takes a different approach. The curved shape pulls the garment bar forward and away from the wall at the center — positioning the middle garments slightly closer to the shopper than those at the ends. Consequently, garments hang at a natural browsing angle rather than pressed tight against the wall surface, making them easier to flip through and examine without pulling them off the bar.
Furthermore, the U shape creates visual depth in the wall display. A flat straight bar displays all garments at the same wall distance — a flat, uniform presentation. The curved bar creates a slight dimensional quality in the garment run — the garments at the center arc forward while those at the ends tuck closer to the wall. That subtle depth variation holds the shopper's eye in the display longer than a perfectly flat wall run of the same garment count.
Connects Between Two Outriggers | Tools Free Installation
The pipe u shaped hangrail snaps into the slot channels on two adjacent pipe style outrigger uprights simultaneously — one end into each upright. No tools, no screws, no additional hardware. The slot system holds both ends of the hangrail securely at the chosen height, and the steel frame supports full heavy garment loads without flex or movement between the two uprights.
The 24" width suits the standard 4-foot outrigger spacing used in most pipe style wall systems — the U shape bridges the 24" centre span between two uprights at that standard spacing. Additionally, the hangrail can be positioned at any height along the outrigger slot for maximum layout flexibility. Mix hangrails with faceouts and shelf brackets on the same pair of outriggers to create a layered wall display that combines side-hang capacity, face-out featured display, and flat shelf merchandise in a single coordinated wall section.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this pipe u shaped hangrail differ from a straight hangbar?
A straight hangbar holds garments flat against the wall at a uniform distance from the wall surface. This U-shaped hangrail curves forward at the center — pulling the middle garments slightly closer to the shopper and creating a slight dimensional arc in the garment run. The U shape makes garments easier to browse from the front and creates subtle visual depth in the wall display that a flat straight bar cannot produce.
Does this hangrail require tools to install?
No tools are required. Both ends of the hangrail snap directly into the slot channels on two adjacent pipe style outrigger uprights at any height along the 90" span. Repositioning to a different height takes seconds — remove both ends from the current slot position and snap into the new height. The process requires no tools at any stage.
What finishes are available?
Matte black, white, and raw steel — all three available from the dropdown. Select the finish that matches the pipe style outrigger uprights and other accessories in your wall system. All three share the same 24" width, U-shaped profile, and pipe style slot compatibility. The finish is the only variable between the three options.
