Hello all,
This weekend I hung up an air filter. The entire unit only ways about 70lbs. All of the chain and hooks that I used are rated for much higher than that. Having never done this before... I'm more concerned with the way that I hung it.
Here's a pic:
In the pic there is some leftover chain that I put around as a fail safe (you can ignore that...they are the pieces that go under the unit). But what is really supporting it is what I traced over in red. The unit is connected to the chain through 4 eye bolts.
The chain wraps over two roof rafters, and is a continuous piece.
If anybody has any advice on something that I should consider changing...I'm all ears.
Also...technically, is there a front and back of this thing? obviously it blows out the end that isn't shown. For perspective, the filter is facing towards the garage door.
Thanks,
Chris
