Hanging a signal with a spanwire hanger??

Postby mcha9797 on Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:50 am

Can anyone suggest a good way to hang a signal that has a spanwire hanger. I want to hang it on a hook.

I flipped the U bolts around and used two hooks, one on each to hang it, that worked well. :thumbsup:

I've got my aluminum 12" TCT hanging from the main ceiling joist with an eye bolt and some 250-pound test chain. So long as you don't bump it, it stays put. :grin:

Got my 12-8-8-12 Econo hanging from a bicycle hook screwed into a ceiling joist. Has been there for at least a year or so. Same hook has been used for other signal heads over the years - first installed in 2004.
