Integral grid hanger system

Wedge Nut

The SOLIDECK dovetail ribs and the delicate wedge nuts provide a simple economical and permanent means for hanging ceiling, piping, ducts, trays and other mechanical and utility components.

Hangers can be installed as they are required; consequently advanced planning or embedment is unnecessary except to determine loading requirements.Since there is never a need to drill or powder drive into,or weld onto a finished floor slab changes after occupancy can be handled with minimum disarray, noise and interruption of normal functions.
