Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Duct Hangers

Common installation or setup challenges when using duct hangers in HVAC systems include:

  1. Incorrect sizing: Choosing hangers that are not the right size for the ducts can lead to instability and poor support.

  2. Improper spacing: Incorrect spacing between hangers can cause sagging or misalignment of the ductwork, affecting its efficiency.

  3. Inadequate support: Insufficient hangers or improper placement can result in the ducts bowing or shifting, potentially causing damage or leaks.

  4. Incorrect mounting surfaces: Mounting hangers on weak or uneven surfaces may lead to instability and compromised support for the ductwork.

  5. Environmental factors: Exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture can impact the durability and stability of the hangers over time.

To address these challenges, it is important to carefully select the right type and size of hangers, follow manufacturer guidelines for installation, ensure proper spacing and support, use appropriate mounting hardware, and consider environmental factors when installing duct hangers. Professional installation or consultation with HVAC experts can also help prevent common challenges and ensure a successful setup.
