About this detail

Two configurations suspend mechanical units from a roof structure, one supported by wide flange steel beams and the other by an open web steel joist. The assembly consists of an L5x3x1/4 angle with long leg vertical supporting hanging rods below, paired with a spacer plate and secured beneath the structural framing. An L2x2x3/16 angle brace is welded with a 3/16 fillet weld to the top flange or chord bearing joint. A note specifies that where the mechanical unit weighs less than 300 pounds, a Unistrut system should be used instead of the L5x3x1/4 angle.
