This fastener is designed to fit into a 1-3/8” hole milled into 3/8”- 5/8” drywall. There are two 2-inch Screws positioned through the face of the fastener that attach two wings along the back side of the fastener. The keyhole along the face has a depth of 5/16” requiring a #10 Pan Head screw size or any Star Hanger Systems screw within the 300 Series that specifies a 5/16” gap neck. Cost Benefit Estimate The 340 Hanger 1-3/8" allows direct panel application at about one half the cost of a full furring system, (usually required for premium grade panel work). This system removes most engineering and fabrication hours by transferring the layout of panel sizes to the field and saving substantial installation hours. The hardware cost is about $ 0.38 /sq ft.
