And you know this how? How did you become the expert on what materials I get from the metal shop? I can go up there and make it out of 24, 26, 30, whatever gauge material I can run through the machine.
Another part of the warehouse. Hanger is on there, job is done. It was on there for assembly, to keep things level. Sure I could take it off, then I guess I just stick some mystery screws in the holes.
I see.. It says 26 ga on the metal. If I buy store bought metal, that is 26, it is thinner. I know i got some of his metal around, ill measure thickness tomorrow.
I know the SLock is a lot more ridged. The bends are sharp and square compared to what I get from the supply house, it is rounded and flex's a lot more.
If you need to the set to be 8" and it is 8" deep or wide duct the the finish length of the offset should be 16" it will make for a smooth radius and not choke the fitting
Not a problem also when you do your spiral job us gripple or gripple type of wire and hangers it will make your life so much easier and faster
No problem at all they are usually spec'd by most architects and engineers and pass all codes and are smacna standard
Gripples are the best thing since sliced bread. I remember when we used to use hanger strap for hanging smaller round duct. What a PITA. We still use rods and saddles/tear drops for larger duct in the range of 18-24" and larger. When the duct gets too heavy for the small surface area of the cable it will actually put a kink in it where the cable chokes around the pipe.
