I've found them to be occasionally tricky to feed the tie through. On a ladder, behind a pipe I think that could be frustrating.

[richard poitras]

Didn’t think of that Matt. They just seemed easier than trying to put up eye hooks as these you can just screw in with a regular screw. I know eye hooks you need to pre drill or have one of those Y bites for your drill to put them in with?

[Matt Meiser]

I predrilled and used a screwdriver through the eye as a wrench. I sed the large size ones with maybe a 1/2" eye.

Here is one of the y shape cup bit’s I was talking about to use. I am mounting my duct work threw 5/8’’ drywall and then into a stud so the screw length may be a problem? Not sure how long you can get eye hooks?

[richard poitras]

Matt also how far did you space your straps apart on the duct?

[Matt Meiser]

As needed...

I usually have one at a corner or drop, maybe 1 in between or 2 per 10' pipe section on long runs.

I'd just use a roll or two of galvanized plumbing strap--already has holes in it. Strong, yet can be bent to shape. Plastic just gets brittle over time.

[Matt Meiser]

That stuff should be packaged with bandages though.

+! on plumbing strap. Cheap, simple, easily modified and reliable.

I used cable tie mounts that look very similar to those to hang my 6" S&D a few years back. I made sure to screw them into the ceiling joists and they've worked just fine.

I used cable tie mounts like the one's you pictured, worked very well for me. I used super, heavy duty cable ties, the one's that are actually used in HVAC to secure flexible air duct to a rigid duct if I recall.

Works for me. I just used a strip of wood screwed to a joist with a dado cut in where I wanted to put the tie. I used standard ties with no problems.

I used these with large hose clamps: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DUC...p-Hanger-6PFZ3

Basically the same as the plastic kind above only a little easier to work with if you use the lever-lock type hose clamps.

Gordon, if you are going to post pics of your shop, could you clean it up a bit first!! Kidding aside, thats a killer shop.
