Wire Hanging System

Wire Hanging Systems are made up of two main components: wire rope and cable locks…

Contractors and Installers alike enjoy the time savings of hanging 10′ sections of pipe instead of 5’ and not having to seal the longitudinal seam. This labor savings can be significant, but once paired with the Dyna Tite cable hanging system the labor savings become substantial when compared to using traditional 1” band iron to hang your pipe. This is because with 1” band iron you first have extra material cost in threaded rod, hanging brackets, nuts, and washers. You must then cut it to the top elevation of your pipe, wrap another section of band iron around the pipe, bend ears on the loop ends around the pipe, and fasten the assembly together. That’s a lot of valuable time spent in the field just shaping pipe hangers.

There are a lot of hanging solutions on the market for round duct, but you will be hard pressed to find one that is faster, safer, and easier than the Dyna Tite cable hanging system. This system utilizes cable locks (clutchers) that make it easy to feed the cable in and reverse if necessary, allowing you to change your pipe elevation by simply adjusting the slack in the clutcher. This eliminates multiple cuts of hanger material to get the elevation just right virtually eliminating waste. The Dyna Tite system lends to installs where visual aesthetics in an exposed installation is desired as it is so discreet it’s almost invisible!

For any contractor or installer using Conklin Metal Industries spiral pipe in conjunction with the Dyna Tite cable hanging system will greatly reduce your installation labor and customer satisfaction allowing you to have your cake and eat it too!

There’s a lot of hanger solutions out there for round duct, or flex, but I think you’d be hard pressed to find one that’s just faster and easier than wire rope: the clutchers are easy to feed and reverse, and you can adjust your pipe elevation by simply adjusting them to shorten the distance of wire between the top and bottom clutch–no cutting of hangers is necessary to get the elevation just right (the system above has to be right the first time) and it’s easy to trim off the excess wire once the install is complete.

The aesthetics in an exposed installation–it IS a really discreet system–are really just the icing on the cake – I think if someone is buying spiral pipe to speed up duct installation elsewhere, the cable system is a natural extension to maximize their labor savings.

: The Dyna-tite cable lock has two locking channels for the pass thru of wire rope. each locking channel has a centered steel locking wedge with serrated teeth. the serrated teeth press onto the wire rope and spread the load across the length of the locking wedge, maximizing the grip strength

: It is imperative to always confirm the engagement of the cable lock on the wire rope. This is best accomplished by pushing the adjustment pin in the opposite direction of the arrows on the cable lock and then pulling the cable also in the opposite direction of the arrows on the cable lock

: It is important to use cable cutters for cutting wire rope. Never use Tin snips and pliers since they may cause the rope to fray and compromise its integrity

Each cable lock has a working load limit that is determined by which wire rope size is utilized.
