Overhead support is the part of a piping job people cost last and regret first. Tell us the building, the structure you can fix to and the run you want, and our compressed air engineers will work out the hanging method and count the hardware properly, at no charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the two wire hanger part numbers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChampion lists XCQL-WH-15-PK10 and XCQL-WH-15-PK10-1 at the same price, and the price list distinguishes the second as the one that works with the 3\/8 in insert hanging bracket. If your teardrop brackets take a 3\/8 in insert, which is the standard Champion hanging bracket, order the -1. Call us if you want it confirmed against your bracket before the order goes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a beam clamp for every hanger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne per hanging point, wherever you are attaching to steel rather than drilling an anchor. At $7 list they are not what drives the cost of an overhead job; the hangers and brackets are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use threaded rod instead of the wire system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The beam clamp takes 3\/8 in thread, and the teardrop hanging bracket takes a 3\/8 in insert, so threaded rod works throughout. Wire is faster to install on a long run and easier to adjust afterwards; rod is more rigid and is what some specifications call for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e12 in or 18 in cantilever?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure what has to clear. The reach needs to carry the pipe past whatever is on the wall, including the fittings and any brackets, with room to get a wrench on a joint. If you are between the two, take the 18 in; the $37 list difference is far cheaper than discovering the run fouls something.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan one bracket or hanger carry more than one pipe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cantilever bracket carries strut channel, and strut channel can carry several runs clamped side by side with strut brackets, which is a common way to run air and nitrogen together. A single teardrop hanging bracket holds one tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far apart do the hanging points go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChampion does not publish a span table in its current Quick-Lock literature, so we will not quote you a number we cannot source. Send us the run, the tube size and the structure and we will advise. The principle is that aluminum is light but a long unsupported span sags, and the sag loads the fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champion","offers":[{"title":"Wire Hanger 15 ft - Pack of 10","offer_id":67579062059283,"sku":"XCQL-WH-15-PK10","price":183.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wire Hanger 15 ft, 3\/8 in Insert - Pack of 10","offer_id":67579062092051,"sku":"XCQL-WH-15-PK10-1","price":183.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cantilever Wall Bracket 12 in - Strut Channel","offer_id":67579062124819,"sku":"XCQL-WB-830","price":196.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cantilever Wall Bracket 18 in - Strut Channel","offer_id":67579062157587,"sku":"XCQL-WB-831","price":226.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beam Clamp - 3\/8 in Thread","offer_id":67579062190355,"sku":"XCQL-BCT","price":5.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-quick-lock-overhead-hanging-system","provider":"Warthog Air Compressor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
