Chapter 6.0: Hanger Assembly
6.1:
Install hanger clamps securely to mounting brackets leaving clamping bolts loose.
6.1.(a):
Make sure conductor bar openings are straight along runway path.
Note: Snap-in type hangers do not have clamping bolts.
Maximum hex nut torque for nylon hanger
is 65 inch pounds
. Use steel bolt hanger on all high temperature cover applications.
6.2: Anchor

Note: Anchor hangers should be used at the midpoint between expansion gaps (see page 9) and at the
midpoint on all other systems. Anchor hangers should also be used where conductor movement
must be restricted. Install anchor hangers according to the following directions.

Drill 3/16” hole through the hanger and conductor section, using the pre-drilled hole in
the anchor hanger as a guide.
