Cable Hangers: An Established Method of Suspending MEP Systems

摘要

Sway Concerns - Although threaded rod may seem a rigid suspension solution when compared to a cable hanger, on longer drops threaded rod is highly susceptible to lateral forces, which can cause it to move and bend permanently. This can lead to the failure or even collapse of the suspended systems. In comparison, cable hangers are flexible and lateral forces don't cause them to bend. Additionally, once ductwork, piping, electrical services, etc. are hung using cable hangers, the full weight of the installed runs impose static gravity loads on the hangers.
