I have some literature that states that when selecting a spring hanger in the table that if all else fails you can divide the cold load by two and use that value to find an acceptable spring hanger (Hot load being DW/2+delta*k). Although you will have to use two spring hangers instead of just one. Does that mean it would be two springs in parallel? And would that be something like an Anvil Type G hanger?

The literature is a little vague after it's first statement that you can divide it by two, and I've been trying to find another source but to no avail.

Any insight on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
