Found online. Yes, it's not cheap, but super easy or so it appears.

Has anyone used this to hang a unit heater?

Is that all that much easier than unistrut?
I just used the rails that came with my Modine heater. but that looks ok too

How are you going to rotate it with a gas line and an exhaust vent hanging on it?
Why would I? Rotating it happens before it's connected to gas line and venting. Once you have that done you lock it down and it doesn't move. It rotates as a convenience when mounting so you don't have to get the mounting brackets perfect. Paying for convenience for sure, but I value my time at $100+ an hour so if I can save an hour by buying this, it's a good value to me.

I recently mounted my 100,000 BTU Modine hot dawg heater using this exact hanger. Worked great!

$100?
Noway......I just direct mounted mine with lag bolts right into the ceiling joists, using the brackets that came with the heater

Yes, as easy as it looks. I mounted mine in a back corner of my shop at a 45 degree angle to spread the heat throughout the area more evenly. I also use 3 ceiling fans to keep the heat from stratifying near the roof.
As mentioned above, once you rotate your heater to the desired output direction, you can easily lock the unit into it's fixed permanent position. The unit is yery well built and engineered.

I used a quick sling to hang a modine H20 Hot Dawg. It worked beautifully. But....there is no vent or hard gas pipe. I am using pex to supply the water, so there is some flexibility and I was able to angle it exactly where I wanted it. I am now going to mount a propane Hot Dawg in another location and I am wondering how this will work. Are there any ways to have the vent or gas line be a little flexible? If not, I guess this will still help with speed of install and be able to angle it quicker and easier. Any other thoughts or advice for an "A game" installation? Thanks.

Looks like there is only one fastener for the two sq tube sections. Wouldn't use it for a heater that would weight more than 150lbs due to vibrations from the unit.

I used to sell them. It was tough to get a contractor to buy one, over $20 of strut, but most contractors, once they tried one they never went back to strut. We sold a ton of them.

All-thread is used for hangers almost exclusively in commercial buildings. Many ways to connect to the supporting structure.
