Cable Shark® Mechanism

Cable Hanging System Mechanism

Labor-saving, versatile means for hanging static load HVAC Systems.

Description

The Ductmate Cable Shark Cable Hanging System consists of Cable Shark Cable and the Cable Shark Mechanism. For the system to work properly, both components must be used together. The Cable Shark Mechanism uses two serrated steel wedges that allow the Cable Shark Cable to pass through in one direction. Then when a load is applied to the Cable Shark Cable in the opposite direction, the wedges grip the Cable Shark Cable and press it against the Cable Shark Mechanism housing, preventing it from moving.
