Abstract
A coupling for coupling a component to a hanger including a first member and a second member. The coupling includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes a pair of extending portions and a pair of extending tabs. The second member includes a pair of circumferential openings and a pair of opposed notches. The openings and notches receive the extending portions and tabs. The component is supportable from the hanger and is substantially restricted from independent movement relative to the hanger when the first member is connected to the second member.
