This unit is installing one Unistrut trapeze duct hanger at prepared structure. The HVAC technician sets the channel trapeze, levels the rod drops as furnished, and leaves the support ready to receive duct. The rate is per each Unistrut trapeze duct hanger. Cable, rod-only, band, clevis, and strap hangers, and the duct itself, are separate units. Flexible duct connectors stay on their own unit.

What is a unistrut trapeze duct hanger?
A Unistrut trapeze duct hanger is a length of strut channel hung level on two threaded rods, with the duct resting on the channel instead of hanging from its own straps. It differs from strap, band and clevis hangers, which wrap or cradle a single duct. A trapeze shines with wide rectangular duct, with several ducts or pipes running side by side, and where structure sits in awkward spots, because the channel bridges between attachment points. It is also easy to level and adjust in the field.

Questions
What is the difference between a trapeze hanger and a rod or clevis hanger?
A rod with a clevis or band cradles one round duct or pipe from a single point. A trapeze uses two rods and a strut channel, so the load sits on a flat bearing surface. That makes a trapeze the usual choice for large rectangular duct or grouped runs, while clevis and band hangers suit single round lines.
What does a Unistrut trapeze hanger detail usually show?
A typical detail shows the structural attachment, two threaded rod drops, the strut channel across the bottom with nuts and washers, and the duct seated on the channel. Many details also show a retainer or strap so the duct cannot slide off. Spacing and sizing come from the project drawings, SMACNA guidance and the engineer of record.
