Default How to secure air cleaner to ceiling? (w/pic)

Hello everyone,

I am still in the process of setting up my new shop at the new house.
Yesterday I hung the new air cleaner. I used chain that has an overkill
factor of about 16x, 100lbs hanging from four chains rated for 400+ lbs. I
have the hook eyes screwed into the joists/trusses in the ceiling.

My concern is for the little "turnbuckles" I used. I am not sure if I used
the correct ones. They look like little horse shoes with a rod that passes
through a hole in one end and screws into a threaded hole on the other side.
I am worried that if anything comes loose I will have a 100 box of steel
come crashing down.

I was thinking adding aircraft cable with crimped ends to act as a backup
should one of the little chain to eye bolt connectors fail.

How do most people hang their air cleaners?

Thanks for looking,

David.
