Hello fellow engineers,

I am designing a fire safety door which I need to support with hangers from floor slab. Where I face difficulty to connect the hangers with floor deck. So I have used P1000T Unistrut with 1/2" Kwik washer for 1/2" dia. hangers. Hanger reaction force is 500lbs. Refer Snap-1 & Snap-2 for clarity. Could anyone let me know that this arrangement is structurally acceptable and components will fit properly and will not create any issue during installation.
