Mechanical clamps and clips attach to structural steel and then hangers are attached to them.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

Mechanical clamps and clips provide secure, non-permanent anchors on structural steel, creating a fixed point from which hangers for pipes, conduit, or ductwork can be attached. By gripping the steel member, these devices establish a reliable support point, and hangers can be fastened to them with bolts or screws, allowing suspended systems to hang freely from the structure. This approach is common in steel framing because it avoids welding, allows adjustments, and keeps the steel surface available for other connections. So, the statement describes a typical and correct method.
