NFPA #13 Swivel Hanger

NFPA #13 Swivel Hanger

NFPA #13 Swivel Hanger

(OP)
A building has structural members, W's and bar joists, that run with the slope of the roof on pitches between 2 in 12 to 6 in 12.

I need a swivel type (if it is made) beam clamp assembly so the rod can hang straight down.  Bending of any rod not allowed.

Does anyone make such an attachment?

RE: NFPA #13 Swivel Hanger

Have you tried Lindapter.  Do a google search.  It may be Lindapter.com.  They offer a swivel type hanger that is good for around 20°, it may even be up to 45° by now.  I know it will actually swivel that far, but I am not sure of the listing.  

NFPA allows for bending of machine threaded rod if that would become a possibility.  I realize you aren't to bend ATR.

I think that Sammy also makes a swivel type hanger.  I am not sure if it would be applicable on your project.

Good luck!

Thanks Travis,

I am thinking of using a flat faced beam clamp with 3/8"x2" machine bold with angle clip and from side of angle clip using eye rod and short 3/8"x1" machine bolt, washer and nut to obtain swivel.

SD2:

That should work, but if it goes outside of the "standard" hangers as shown in NFPA 13, you may need to have a structural PE sign off on the hangers.

I think it was the web site.

"do not know anything about this product"

Interesting product but don't see a UL or FM stamp.
