In hanger apparatus of the type comprising a hanger mandrel carried by an inner pipe, an outer body which can be carried by an outer pipe, and a resiliently contractable annular locking device carried by the mandrel for locking the mandrel to the hanger body to suspend the inner pipe, the locking device comprises two independent annular resilient means, the upper one of which constitutes a locking means to cooperate with a locking groove in the hanger body and the lower one of which constitutes a catching means to cooperate with a catching groove in the hanger body below the locking groove. The two annular means are disposed in an outwardly opening annular recess presented by the mandrel. The invention has the advantage that the locking means, which may be a split ring, can be wholly within the mandrel recess as the mandrel is run down to the hanger body, the active outer surfaces of the locking ring thus being protected from being damaged during the trip down to the hanger body. A further advantage is that the catching device, being independent from the locking device, can be more resilient.
