By going up through the middle of the truss, the Truss-T Hangers™ are able to take advantage of the entire load capacity of the truss, thereby providing an unprecedented amount of structural support. According to Leavitt & Associates, Engineers, Inc., the Truss-T Hangers™ are capable of supporting up to 1,200 pounds - that's three times the load capacity of the traditional hanging systems which rely on only one leg of the bottom cord of the truss. As explained by J. Reese, P.E./S.E of Leavitt of Leavitt & Associates, Nampa, Idaho:

"The design, in its simplicity, makes the Truss-T Hanger™ relatively inexpensive and will delight the operator with its quick and simple installation, which can easily be installed from the ground. Because of its unique design, the Truss-T Hanger™ applies no unbalanced loads to the support structure and no localized flange bending of the truss chords.

Recognizing a need for a faster, stronger and safer approach to hanging fixtures from steel trusses, ITW Buildex has introduced the Truss-T Hanger™.

Truss-T Hangers™ are shaped like a "T" and, unlike traditional hanging systems, are installed by going through the middle of the truss and then being locked into place by a coupling device. The coupling device accommodates threaded pipe, allowing the Truss-T Hangers™ the versatility to be used in virtually any application; electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire suppression, etc.
