New Management Methods Bulletin Explores the Use of Wire Hangers in Mechanical Construction

August 7, 2025

The transition from traditional threaded rod hangers to steel wire suspension hangers represents a significant opportunity for plumbing and mechanical contractors to optimize their workflows and improve project outcomes. MCAA’s new Management Methods Bulletin, Exploring the Use of Wire Hangers in Mechanical Construction, explores how adopting suspension wire hangers can help contractors reduce labor costs, enhance flexibility, and streamline project timelines, leading to more efficient and cost-effective construction practices. It’s just one of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.

The bulletin explores the following:

  • What is the difference between wire hangers and standard threaded rod hangers
  • A process comparison between the two system types
  • Application of suspension wire hangers
  • Production process for hangers
  • Installation time for hangers
  • Acceptance in the construction industry
  • Advantages of suspension wire hangers
  • Recommendations for future integration
