Hanger strips for securing insulation material to a surface of a structure formed of sheet metal material including a plurality of bases which are connected by one or more breakable tabs integrally formed between each pair of adjacent bases and wherein first open slots extend from each of the breakable tabs toward opposite side edges of the bases and wherein a shank extends from each of the bases in a common direction and wherein pluralities of strips are oriented in first and second assemblies of rows of strips having their shanks opposing one another and their bases overlapping one another such that tips of the shanks are safely enclosed between the bases of the opposing assemblies and seated within the first open slots.
Hanger strips for securing insulation material to a surface of a structure, the hangers comprising a strip of sheet metal material including a plurality of bases which are connected in series by at least one breakable tab integrally formed between each pair of adjacent bases and wherein oppositely oriented first open slots extend from each of the at least one breakable tabs toward opposite side edges of the bases, a shank extending from each of the bases and the shanks being oriented in a common direction, and wherein said oppositely oriented first open slots have a width greater than the diameter of said shanks and a sufficient depth to receive and maintain in said slots a shank of another hanger, whereby connected bases with shanks form a plurality of hangers that may be separated for use by breaking the breakable tabs between the adjacent bases.
