Abstract:
1. An apparatus for hanging an HVAC unit, comprising: at least one vertical arm adapted to be attached at its top end to an overhead member; a bar adapted to be slidably coupled to the at least one vertical arm and having a first horizontally extending arm located at the bottom of the bar to form a J bar; clearance openings located in the at least one vertical arm and in the J bar for receiving fasteners for attaching the at least one vertical arm to the J bar to raise or lower the first horizontally extending arm for supporting the HVAC unit at different heights; an extension member removably and telescopically coupled to the horizontally extending arm, wherein the extension member has a length that provides for adjustment of the size of the apparatus in a first horizontal direction and is adapted to be removably and telescopically attached to a like horizontally extending arm on an opposing J bar; and one or more support members extending between the horizontally extending arm and a like parallel horizontally extending arm, the one or more support members: (a) being adapted to be removably attached to the horizontally extending arm and the like parallel horizontally extending arm; (b) extending in a second horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to the first horizontal direction; and (c) comprising first and second telescoping members slidably coupled so that a length of the first and second support members in the second horizontal direction is adjustable.
