When it comes to the installation of ductwork, pipework or electrical services we are finding that instead of always using traditional support methods such as strut and threaded rod, more of our customers are considering alternative approaches in a bid to reduce costs and save time. One such alternative is using wire suspension kits, which require less steel and labour.
Wire suspension kits consist of three elements; the wire rope, a locking mechanism and speciality end fixing, which can help reduce installation time. The wire rope used for such systems is strong yet flexible allowing for services to be well supported and easily hung at a variety of angles meaning they are ideal for complex projects, and can accommodate for sloped ceilings.
Each of the major wire suspension brands on the market have simple to adjust locking mechanisms which allow for height adjustments to be made quickly and easily with the minimum amount of fuss. The locks can even be operated whilst wearing gloves, so there is no need to risk removing them during installation or to perform a height adjustment.
