Channel struts and threaded rod—For trapeze installations, use channel struts supported by<br />
threaded rods that are hung from anchors set in concrete or attached to building supports. To install<br />
the anchors:<br />
• Drill a hole with the diameter of the anchor. Make the hole deeper than the length of the<br />
anchor or screw.<br />
• Clean the debris from the hole and drive the rod hanger into the hole.<br />
• Thread the rod in the hanger and bolt the strut to the other end of the threaded rod.<br />
