What do you all think is the most efficient way to hang branchlines running perpendicular just below pre-cast concrete tees? Concrete Sammys, HDIP inserts, maybe other ideas?

It's situational.

In the past I have used what we call a "Mickey Mouse" hanger.

I prefer concrete insert drilled on the vertical face of the tee. We use a beveled washer and an L-shaped angle bracket. The washer helps make the rod plumb. Just make sure you are following the concrete tee manufacturer requirements.

Is it new construction or existing? The Dewalt line is listed for cracked concrete and they bought Powers. If it's new construction the Dewalt wood knocker ll+ has a better seismic rating unless ISAT will do your seismic calcs. Snake plus, mini undercut plus

HDIP TZ looks like the best option if you are in seismic zones because it's approved by LA Dept. of Building and Safety..
