MH - Multi Hangers

MHE code = The overall size of the part UNFOLDED.e.g. MHE-500-100 is 500mm long, to determine leg height 500 - 100 = 400 ÷ 2= 200mm high less bend allowance.

MHE-325, 500 & 620 can be folded to suit sizes between 38mm & 150mm.

MHE-620 can be folded to suit sizes between 38 & 200mm wide.

MHE-670 can be folded to suit sizes between 201 & 250mm wide.

MHE-720 can be folded to suit sizes between 251 & 300mm wide.

Please note that although these parts can also be folded to form an internal hanger MHI the minimum width for a MHI hanger is 92mm, sizes below this are not possible as the fixing legs would overlap. For any internal applications below 92mm wide please refer to the IFI (Internal Flange Hanger) page 56.
