Why is an un-set drop-in anchor dangerous for duct hangers?

An un-set drop-in anchor is an overhead failure waiting to happen. Pull the rod, set or replace the anchor correctly, and verify it before loading duct.

['Threading rod into a drop-in anchor does not mean the anchor is set. The internal plug has to be expanded with the proper setting tool before the hanger can carry load.', 'If one is missed, assume nearby anchors may need checking too. Back out the rod, set or replace the anchor by the approved method, and do not lift duct until the hanger line is verified.']
