Frequently Asked Questions

Can EC Series hangers be installed vertically or horizontally?

EC Series hangers can be used for either vertical or horizontal installation.

Does Pre-galvanized finish protect raw edges?

Minimal protection is provided for raw edges after roll-forming, cutting, or punching, which is typical with pre-coated material.

What happens if PVC coated products are altered in the field?

Field alterations like cutting or drilling disrupt the sealed PVC product and warrant field touch-up. Thomas & Betts is not responsible for field-altered PVC coated products.

What is the thickness of the PVC Coated finish?

The fused-melt mixed powder PVC coating thickness is 15 mils (0.015 in) plus or minus five mils.

Is Hot-Dipped Galvanized recommended for threaded products?

Hot-Dipped Galvanized is not recommended for threaded products because the zinc coating thickness will often disrupt the threads.

What types of Stainless Steel are available?

Type 304 stainless steel is supplied as standard, and Type 316 stainless steel may be available upon request.

Does the Black finish protect against rust?

The Black finish is raw steel with only a light oil finish and provides no protection against red rust.

What are the standard finishes for EC Series products?

Standard finishes include electro-galvanized and Type 304 Stainless Steel.

What is the load rating for EC Series hangers?
