Blue Banger Hanger SDI – Steel Deck Insert
Quick Overview
Blue Banger Hanger SDI (Steel Deck Insert) - Engineered to save you money! SDI’s are installed prior to pouring, reducing installation and material costs and increasing strength values. The Patented Blue Banger Hanger SDI is seismically qualified for use in cracked concrete.
Machined Steel Insert with Large Flanged Head
• Provides excellent shear values for overhead attachments
• Insert installed height of two inches can be used through or between ribs
• Patented grooved insert body prevents component seperation even if the flute is broken off prior to pour
Multiple Internal Threads
• Reduces inventory so three inserts can accommodate five threaded rod sizes
• Allows for threaded rod size changes after inserts are installed
• Internal threads eliminate the need and cost of couplings
Three Inch Blue Plastic Sleeve
• Keeps internal threads clean
• Extended length makes insert easy to locate even with fireproofing on deck underside
• Plastic sleeve provides guidance to align threaded rod with matching internal female threads
• UL plenum rated for use in air handling spaces
Flute Span Bracket
• Allows the SDI to be installed at the side of the flutes
• Enables the SDI to realize the higher capacity that is achieved in the upper flute
• Positions all inserts on the project at the same elevation to eliminate multiple all thread rod lengths and improve the accuracy of off site prefabrication
