ABSTRACT:
A hanger assembly for attaching to framing. The framing has a first vertical wall and a second vertical wall. The framing also has a top and a bottom. The framing has two bearing surfaces that form a plane that is located between the top of the framing and the bottom of the framing. The two bearing surfaces form a slot that allows access to the interior of the framing. The hanger assembly includes a nut that engages the two bearing surfaces of the framing. The nut has a first thread. The hanger assembly also includes a threaded rod that contains a second thread that engages the first thread. The hanger assembly also includes a coupler that contains a third thread that engages the second thread. The distance between the nut and the coupling changes when the coupling is rotated with respect to the nut.
