Hanger inserts are placed in a form before concrete is poured.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only after cure
• D. Not used

Answer: (A)

In concrete forming, hanger inserts are placed in the form before pouring so they become embedded anchors. This lets you suspend pipes, ducts, or other hangers from the cured concrete with a secure, accurately located attachment point. If you waited until after the concrete had cured, you’d have to drill or use other after-the-fact anchoring methods, which can weaken the structure and miss alignment. Once the concrete cures, the insert is fixed in place and provides a reliable, integral support.
