What is a hanger?
A hanger is an innovative anchor crafted to hang threaded rods (or tie wire for light-duty applications) from overhead structures, effectively supporting a wide array of equipment, pipes, ductwork, and other elements. Threaded rods are long, straight rods with threads on both ends, and they are commonly used in construction and engineering applications.
The design of the threaded rod hanger is both functional and efficient. It incorporates either a screw anchor or a clamp, specifically engineered to attach to overhead structures securely. This component has either an internal or external thread that firmly grips the threaded rod, ensuring stability and safety.
Once the hanger is mounted onto a structure like a ceiling or beam, the threaded rod is smoothly threaded through it. The adaptability of these hangers is noteworthy; they can be adjusted to fit rods of different diameters and are available in several designs to cater to particular needs. Whether in industrial settings, commercial establishments, or residential construction, threaded rod hangers are indispensable for safely suspending objects from above or from the side.
Threaded rod hangers offer a highly adaptable and reliable method for hanging various construction elements. These hangers are tailored in diverse sizes and designs to meet different load capacities and specific project requirements.
In the context of Australia's evolving National Construction Code, there's been a surge in demand for high-efficiency, easy-to-install concrete hangers. Screw-in concrete hangers have emerged as a superior alternative to traditional drop-in anchors, thanks to their exceptional performance. Their ability to consistently handle loads has led to many of ICCONS products achieving Seismic certification under AS5216, the Australian Design Standard for Post-Installed and Cast-in Anchors in Concrete. Consequently, these concrete screw-in rod hanger anchors are increasingly favoured in construction projects adhering to the National Construction Code.
