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 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.

  • Production process for hangers
  • Installation time for hangers
  • Acceptance in the construction industry
