KINDORF® METAL FRAMING SYSTEM METAL FRAMING CHANNEL & ACCESSORIES
Buildings designed with concrete inserts as an integral
part of the ceiling or wall construction realize many
economies, both in initial construction and when
updating of the mechanical and electrical system is
required. The initial economies of construction stem
from the ease with which pipe, air conditioning,
lighting and other fixtures can be attached to ceilings

continuous-slot channels will accept all the assembly
parts and fittings of the Kindorf® system. This provides
virtually limitless structural arrangements – present
and future. Hanger attachments are made by the
standard Kindorf® procedure of simply inserting a
standard channel nut which can be pre-started on
the hanger rod or bolt. Placement or adjustment of
attachments can be made in infinite increments at
any time along the length of the concrete insert.
Future flexibility means economies in terms of future
changes in equipment or its placement.

• An immediate savings in time and labor by
eliminating the need for precise calculation and
measurement, both in layout planning and
actual installation of attachment devices
• Additional savings in time and labor because
changes or additions can be made readily to the
existing channel at any time; the need for costly
drilling in concrete and other costly procedures
can be eliminated
Companion to the channel inserts is the spot-type
insert for use where a single hanger is required
at a specific location.
