Hanger Wire & Tie Wire
Quote requiredAvailable by 50 lbs. hanks (bundles).
Hanger Wire is available in 8 and 12 gauge and is galvanized for corrosion resistance. Hanger wire is suspended from the underside of the floor structure to provide a structural support for drop, gypsum wallboard or plaster suspended ceilings. Tie Wire is 18-gauge galvanized soft annealed wire used in drywall and plaster construction to tie furring channels to main runner U-channels. It’s also used to tie metal lath to channels in plaster construction, attach expansion/control joints to lath and tie the lath overlap between rows of fasteners. 18ga tie wire is not recommended for suspension. In a drop ceiling assembly U-Channel is suspended from the overhead structure using hanger wire. Drywall furring channel is wire-tied perpendicular to the underside of the U-Channel at appropriate intervals for screw-attaching drywall. Assemblies are installed per the project specification or ASTM C 754 requirements. Wire ties are required for fire-rated and multilayer assemblies.
