Abstract
A hanger assembly and method of hanging conduits in buildings is described which protects the structure of the building from damage during a seismic event. The hanger assembly includes a frangible element which is calibrated to break when subjected to some higher than normal tensile load resulting from rapid acceleration of the conduit. Thus, for example, in the event of an earthquake, the hanger will fail before damage is done to the concrete to which the anchor is attached.
