LEGEND
1. INTRODUCTION
The ADMIRAL LOW HANGER TUBE can be used to
hang loads vertically from any support structure.
They are mostly used in temporary set ups in the
entertainment industry but can be used for
permanent set ups in museums, event venues,
theatres etc. as well.
In this manual ELL stands for Entertainment Load
Limit. Meaning the device has an inherent double
safety factor (8:1) and is therefore suitable to
suspend loads above persons.
The LOW HANGER TUBE is also designed to meet
the German regulation for loads above persons
DGUV17/18 (formerly known as BGVc1).
Clamps, couplers and safety cables used to
couple and secure the LOW HANGER TUBES
to the supporting structure are not included.
The user must use certified clamps or
couplers with a ELL of at least 200 kg and with
minimum safety factor of 8:1 as required for
overhead liing.
ADMIRAL has endeavored to deliver the
highest degree of accuracy possible.
However continuous improvement of our products
is ADMIRAL policy. Therefore product specifications
are subject to change without notice.
Readers and users are encouraged to notify
ADMIRAL of errors and send in suggestions for
improvements. All communications will be carefully
considered for future printings of this manual and
changes to our products.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This user manual must be read and understood
prior to assembly, setup and servicing. All people
using and servicing the LOW HANGER TUBE must
familiarize themselves with the safety instructions
and user guidelines written in this manual.
This manual needs to be accessible for all users
at all times.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Is used for lists
of steps, procedures or instructions that
might otherwise substitute a DANGER,
WARNING or CAUTION notification.
Note that equivalent phrases, such as SAFE
OPERATION PROCEDURES or SAFE SHUT
DOWN PROCEDURE, can be used in place of
the words “SAFETY INSTRUCTION”.
DO NOT li or load above people without
the following precautions:
• Only use certified clamps or couplers
which are made for the M10 boltnut
connection.
• Use an additional certified, secondary
safety cable to both secure the
LOW HANGER TUBE to the supporting
structure and the load coupled to the
LOW HANGER TUBE.
• A LOW HANGER TUBE must be taken out
of service immediately if, during use,
repair or maintenance damages are
discovered.
• Remove people from the area during
installation.
• Use solely instructed and/or trained
personnel.
• Wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) such as hard hats and
gloves during the installation.
• Make sure there is adequate amount
of working light during the installation
of the product.
• The LOW HANGER TUBE can be operated
from -20° up to 60° Celsius.
• Do not exceed the maximum ELL (entertain-
ment load limit) stated on the product.
• Make sure the resulting forces on the supporting
structure are approved by a competent person
before applying the load.
• To determine the maximum suspended load
on the product, all imposed loads shall be
considered. e.g. the dynamic factor caused
by the liing machinery.
• Sound systems can be suspended but users
must check regularly the integrity of the
LOW HANGER TUBE as severe vibrations
could loosen bolts/knobs .
• The LOW HANGER TUBE must be inspected
by a competent person as oen as required
WARNING
Check local legislation for the
application of use.
4. LIMITATIONS OF USE
WARNING
WARNING
Exceeding the limitations of use can seve-
rely endanger the audience and users.
Dynamic factor of liing must be
considered separately.
3. SCOPE
The intended use of the LOW HANGER TUBE is to
hang static loads at a certain, pre-determined dis-
tance underneath a supporting structure.
Loads can be lighting fixtures, video projectors,
sound systems and/or equipment.
Any other way of use is considered to be a case of
misuse. Solely the user is liable for any damage or
injury resulting from such cases.

but with a minimum of 1 x per year. Records of
these inspections must be kept.
• Inspect equipment before every use.
A damaged LOW HANGER TUBE shall be
taken out of service.
• Outdoor use shall be approved by a
competent person and might influence the
load capacity. Do not expose the product
to full rain or snow. Outdoor use is the sole
responsibility of the operator.
• In case of use in the vicinity of saltwater,
the product shall be rinsed regularly with
fresh water to avoid corrosion.
• It is also imperative to observe the local
accident prevention regulations and/or
occupational health and safety regulations.
• The support structure, on which the LOW
HANGER TUBE is used, must have lightning
protection when used outdoors.
• The support structure, on which the LOW
HANGER TUBE is used, might need to have
electric potential bonding.
• Do not use the LOW HANGER TUBE to guide
currents for electric potential bonding.
• Make sure the LOW HANGER TUBE and
the supporting structure are dry and free of dirt.
• Use appropriate packaging to transport the
products. e.g. a flightcase.
• Solely use by ADMIRAL approved parts to
replace damaged or lost parts.
• Do not re-zinc steel components as they
might be subject to hydrogene embrittlement.
WARNING
solely apply vertical loads
CAUTION
Do not throw the LOW HANGER TUBE,
as it might damage the product.

8. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Inspect the LOW HANGER TUBE before use.
Make sure all components are in place and
in good order. If damaged, mark the item
clearly and take out of service*.
*See chapter 11 for further instructions!
WARNING
Check the integrity of the LOW HANGER TUBE
aer severe vibrations caused by sound
systems or if the supporting structure was
subject to severe movement e.g. due to
winds.
Step 2
Attach the coupler to
the supporting structure.
Step 1
Mount the LOW HANGER
TUBE to a coupler.
Step 3
Attach a device to the
LOW HANGER TUBE.
Note
Use a M10 bolt (8.8 quality) for assembling the LOW
HANGER TUBE on a structure or coupler. The length
depends on the device (fixture, truss or pipe).
Make sure the bolt is screwed at least 40 mm (A)
into the LOW HANGER TUBE. The torque setting is
approximately 15 Nm.
Step 4
Secure both ends with an extra safety cable.
A
A
WARNING
If the LOW HANGER TUBE is used to
support loads above people it might
be needed to secure the load with an
additional safety cable. Make sure this
cable is attached with as less slack as
possible and has the correct load capacity.
In some countries the use of safety
cables is not required if the clamp and the
load attached to it can only be released by
use of tooling. In that case the bolt/nuts
must be fastened with a minimum torque
setting of 15Nm and the wingnut must be
removed in order to create the condition
to comply with this regulation (DGUV 215-
313).

9. DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 10. STORAGE
The LOW HANGER TUBE must be stored in a
dry, non-aggressive environment.
• Make sure the parts cannot bend.
• Avoid vibrations. Rubbing parts can cause
excessive wear and tear.
WARNING
