How do I know which MCL Hanger to buy?

Which MCL Hanger to buy depends on the characteristics of the structure it will be attached to. 

​

For Angle Iron Chords (for gap width from .085" to 1.25"): 

        Top chord - use M1 or M2

        Bottom chord - use M1 or M2

​

For Cold Formed Chords (for gap with from .092" to 1.25"):

        Top chord - use M2  

        Bottom chord - use M1 or M2

​

For Strut Bar: use M1

​

Generally when installing on the top chord the threaded MCL Hangers are the quickest and easiest to install. When installation is planned for the bottom chord, M1 and M2 work equally well. This is because the chord is easily accessible from above and below.

Which MCL Hanger should I use for a New Millennium, Nucor Vulcraft, or Canam Buildings joist?

For New Millennium we recommend M2 for the top and bottom chord as it was designed for the wider gap. 

​

For Nucor Vulcraft and Canam Buildings we recommend M1 for the top and bottom chord because the gap is narrower and they provide for a tighter fit. 

What decking profiles do the MCL Hangers work with?

MCL Hangers work with F, B, N, C, W and P style profiles on top chords. The height and width of the space presented above the chord provides adequate space for the insertion and rotation of the hanger.

What is included in an MCL Hanger Assembly Set?

Assembly Sets include one MCL Hanger, one heavy duty (fender) washer, one 5" all thread rod, and 2 nuts. Assembly Sets are only available for threaded MCL Hangers. All Assembly Set components can be purchased separately.
