A double offset hanger and restrainer device for securely supporting a pipe or the like against undesirable sway and seismic disturbances is provided. The hanger and restrainer device includes a proximal portion mountable to a beam or the like and a specially contoured distal portion with an opening that can receive the pipe in a “snap-on” manner. The snap-on or press-fit feature also provides the advantage of retrofit installation, thereby permitting one or more of the devices to be added on without disassembly of an existing installation.

1. A pipe hanger having first and second sides, the pipe hanger comprising: a planar plate having opposite first and second planar faces with generally trapezoidal shapes at the respective first and second sides of the pipe hanger, opposite proximal and distal ends, and opposite first and second side edges between the first and second planar faces and extending from the proximal end to the distal end;a plate rib at the first side edge of the planar plate and extending transversely outward from only the first planar face of the planar plate;a mounting flange extending transversely outward from only the first planar face of the planar plate at the proximal end of the planar plate; anda planar hook at the distal end of the flat plate, the planar hook having opposite first and second planar faces that are generally co-planar with the respective first and second planar faces of the planar plate, and a curved side edge portion between the first and second planar faces of the planar hook that is contiguous with the first side edge of the planar plate, wherein the curved side edge portion defines a slot sized and shaped to receive a circumferential portion of a pipe therein,wherein the first side of the pipe hanger is generally non-planar and defined, at least in part, by the first planar face of the planar plate, the plate rib, the mounting flange, and the first planar face of the planar hook,wherein the second side of the pipe hanger is generally planar and defined, at least in part, by the second planar face of the planar plate and the second planar face of the planar hook. 2. The pipe hanger set forth in claim 1, wherein the plate rib has a length extending along an entire length of the first side edge. 3. The pipe hanger set forth in claim 1, further comprising a hook rib at the curved side edge portion of the planar hook and extending transversely outward from only the first planar face of the hook. 4. The pipe hanger set forth in claim 3, wherein the hook rib has a length extending along an entire length of the curved side edge portion of the planar hook. 5. The pipe hanger set forth in claim 4, wherein the hook rib is contiguous with the plate rib. 6. The pipe hanger set forth in claim 1, wherein the mounting flange defines fastener openings for receiving fasteners to fasten the mounting flange to a support structure. 7. The pipe hanger set forth in claim 1, wherein the planar hook is configured to receive the pipe in the slot in a snap-on manner. 8. The pipe hanger set forth in claim 1, wherein the planar plate, the mounting flange, and the planar hook are integrally formed from a single sheet of material. 9. The pipe hanger set forth in claim 1, wherein the planar plate has a span extending between the first and second side edges of the planar plate, wherein the span tapers toward the distal end of the planar plate.
