NO DROP SYSTEM® Dodge Hanger Bottom 25 series (10 pcs)

Dodge Hangers are an incredibly useful corrosion resistant, stainless steel construction hardware for installing the starter row of your wall sheathing, siding and roof decking with plywood, OSB, T1-11, cement boards, or lap siding by one man, which can save a lot of money on labor. Dodge Hangers promote safety and ergonomics, making them easy and comfortable to use. They are able to support a significant amount of weight without issue, taking the burden off the man. Additionally, the Dodge Hangers will lock the material into place for a no movement nail-off. You can work on all sides independently and still have consistency, uniformity and accuracy of installation. 

The Dodge Hanger Bottom will hang the material flush with the mudsill for a no drop installation of your wall sheathing or siding.  It will hang your roof decking flush with the edge of the rafter tail end.

The Dodge Hanger Bottoms (DHB25) are compatible with the Dodge Hanger Corner 0 series (DHC0) outside corners. 

Select the size you need based on the thickness of the material being installed.  Select DHB2538 to install 5/16", 11/32", or 3/8" thick material.  Select DHB2512 to install 7/16", 15/32", or 1/2" material.  Select the DHB2558 to install 9/16", 19/32", 5/8" material.

SIDING NO DROP SYSTEM®

The Dodge Hanger Bottom® (DHB) is part of a no drop system that is designed to install the starter row of the siding even or flush with the bottom of the sheathing.

We recommend you use the DHB to hang your siding if you have already dropped your sheathing below the mudsill with a DHTL or a DHR.

Select the DHB with a saddle width that matches the thickness of the siding material to be installed.

1. Use (2) DHBs per piece of siding.  Add as needed for longer pieces

2. Place a DHB on the sheathing, where it will be no more than 6” from either end of the siding to be hung.

 

 

 

3. Lightly hammer the quick-mount stab tab on the DHB into the sheathing to hold it in place.

4. Install the DHB’s on the sheathing using Approved Fasteners*.

5. Place your siding on the DHB’s to hold the starter row of siding.

 

 

*Check your local building code.
