Installation instructions for HYDRA spring hangers


Spring hangers: FHD FHG FHS FDT

Spring supports: FSS FSP FSG

General information

 Spring hangers and spring supports are delivered on pallets.


 They must be transported carefully on the construction site.
 Along with the corrosion protection, the threaded parts, nameplates and tags which indicate movement
and load must be specifically protected during transport.
 Temporary storage should be done in a closed space. If storage has to be done in open-air, the equipment
must be suitably covered in order to protect it against moisture and pollution.

Mounting points

The necessary mounting points must be prepared for attaching the spring hangers and spring supports to the
supporting structure:
 welding plates and/or clamping lugs for suspended types (FHD, FHG and FDT)
 support beams (drilled) or mounting plates for upright types (FHS, FSS and FSP) and trestles for sway
supports (type FSG)

Function

Spring hangers and spring supports transfer forces from the pipe to the supporting structure over a specific motion
range. In the factory spring hangers and spring supports are preset for the appropriate installed load and locked.
Installation of spring hangers or spring supports in the unlocked state is not recommended.

Installation instructions for spring hangers and spring supports


Installation

Fit spring hangers using suitable connections:


 Fit mounting bolts with cotter pins and thus with safety devices
 Fit nuts and locknuts on threaded junctions

Load connection and load adjustment

Spring hanger with turnbuckle nuts


First thread the bottom load anchor into the turnbuckle nut of
Adjusting nut
the spring hanger and connect it to the load to be supported
(observe installation dimension E).
Thoroughly grease both threaded ends of the turnbuckle nut Travel stop section
and fit the locknuts before assembly.
Cut the bottom threaded rod to the appropriate installation
length if necessary.
Turn the turnbuckle until the preset cold load point is
reached.
(The cold load point or the installed load can be read from the
indicator screen, or is marked by a blue arrow.)
This point is reached when both ends of the travel stop stack
FHS
are free and the travel stops can be removed by hand (Note
that the transport lock must be removed first!). Turnbuckle nut
With relatively large threaded junctions (approximately M42
or greater) it is practically impossible to adjust the turnbuckle
nuts under load. In such case suitable aids should be used to

relieve the load on the turnbuckle nuts (hoisting gear,
hydraulic jack, etc.).

FDT dual hanger with cross bar (connection profile)

Proceed as described above.


Ensure that the load is evenly distributed over the two load anchors.

Hanger without turnbuckle nut (FHS)

Tighten the adjusting nut until the ‘cold load’ of the spring hanger works
(first grease the threaded rod and all threaded parts).
Otherwise proceed as described above.

For spring supports of size 12 or larger, use suitable aids
(lifting gear, hydraulic jack, etc.) to relieve the load on the
support plate.

Size 01 – 11 sway-head spring support (FSG)

As with the other types of spring supports, the support head is fitted loosely on the side of the adjustable support
tube. By rotating the support tube (first grease the threads) the entire support is tightened (adjustment range
+30 mm).
With sway supports of size 08 or larger, the load must be relieved before making the adjustment.

After unlocking or decoupling

After unlocking the spring hanger or spring support, hang the travel stops below the nose of the support plate
(slot) for storage and secure them with a wire.
With size 12 and larger devices, the travel stops can be secured to bolts welded to the housing.
After this, check the inclination of the support plate again.
The maximum allowable inclination to be expected in operation is 4°.
All threaded parts, with the exception of the left-hand thread of the turnbuckle nut, must be secured with locknuts.

Cold water pressure test

When performing the cold-water pressure test on pipes equipped with spring hangers and/or spring supports, these
need to be locked to prevent unallowable distortion of the pipe.
The spring hangers and spring supports are thus dimensioned to handle twice their rated load in both the locked
and unlocked states, with a safety margin of 1.25. In an overload situation, the noses of the spring hangers /
supports in an unlocked state will rest on the bottom stop (at the bottom of the slot).

Checking for proper operation

After the system is put into service Spring hangers and/or spring supports should be checked to verify their ‘hot
position’. This position is marked by a red triangle scale which contains the indicator screen. Corrective action
must be taken if large deviations are found.
If larger or smaller operating loads as calculated are the cause of this deviation, they must be readjusted (for
example by adjusting the turnbuckle nut).
If the available travel range or load range is exceeded, the device must be replaced by a suitable device.

Maintenance

Spring hangers and spring supports do not require maintenance and do not have any wear parts.

Spring hangers and spring supports are locked at installation.


All loads, considered in the calculation, are connected and act on the
spring hanger or spring support (medium, insulation, other loads, etc.).
After the strap clams (transport security devices) have been removed, it
should be possible to remove the travel stops from the grooves in the
spring housing by hand.
(Sizes 01 to 11 have two sets of travel stops; sizes 12 to 16 have four
sets of travel stops)

or support can be adjusted and the installation load adapted (turning the
turnbuckle nut in the case of hangers; turning the support tube or the

The position of the travel stop stack indicates whether the load is too Set load
big or too small:

Effective load too big: - increase the installation dimension for spring hangers
