Send us the run lengths, the pipe sizes and a photograph of what is above the route and we will work out the bracket count, tell you where a cantilever is genuinely needed rather than a hanger, and quote it with the pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the threaded rod included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The hanger bracket has a 3\/8 in female insert at 73mm, 90mm and 115mm, and a 1\/2 in insert with a 3\/8 in adapter at 168mm and 220mm. Buy the rod to the drop length your building needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far apart should the brackets go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChampion does not publish a spacing table for Big-Lock and we will not transfer one from another manufacturer's product. The rule that always holds is that the pipe carries the load and the couplings do not, and that anything heavy gets supported either side. If a specified figure is needed, ask us and we will get it from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the cantilever bracket thirty times the price of the hanger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is thirty times the part. A hanger is a clamp with a threaded insert that transfers the load to rod you supply. A cantilever is a structural arm that takes the whole moment of a pipe standing out from a wall, supplied with its strap and bolts. They are not alternatives for the same location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these on Quick-Lock pipe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, these are sized to the 73mm to 220mm Big-Lock range. For 14mm to 63mm Quick-Lock runs, the Quick-Lock mounting brackets and overhead hanging system are the right parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs there a 273mm bracket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot in the current price list.
