Ductwork Support Systems for HVAC

Common hanger types include wire hangers, strap hangers, clevis hangers, and trapeze hangers. The appropriate type depends on duct dimensions, system pressure, and installation environment. For industrial ventilation and dust collection systems, heavier-duty hangers or trapeze configurations are often required to handle larger, heavier duct sections.

SMACNA guidelines generally recommend hanger spacing of 8 to 10 feet for rectangular ducts and up to 10 feet for round ducts, though spacing may decrease for heavier or larger ducts. Always consult the applicable code, system specifications, and local building requirements to determine the correct interval for your specific installation.

Yes, ductwork hangers designed for industrial applications are built to accommodate the larger duct diameters, higher weights, and more demanding conditions found in industrial ventilation and exhaust systems. Heavy-duty hanger configurations support robust dust collection and exhaust duct runs in manufacturing, warehousing, and processing environments.

Absolutely. Hangers are a critical component of dust collection system installations, providing stable support for heavy-gauge ducts that carry particulate-laden airstreams. Proper hanger selection ensures ducts remain level and properly pitched for drainage or airflow efficiency, reducing wear on joints and connections over time.

Ductwork hangers are commonly manufactured from galvanized steel, stainless steel, or other corrosion-resistant metals. The material choice depends on the environment — standard galvanized steel suits most commercial HVAC applications, while stainless or coated options are preferred in corrosive, high-humidity, or food-processing environments.
