twin-stem hanger
pendard à double tige


Explanation:
I'm not quite sure if this term can be applied to this particular type of 'hanger', but I have certainly come across it in FR as the word for a hanger for a fluorescent strip light fitting.

In his answer to the KudoZ question in my first ref. above, Daniel Marquis wrote:
"Un pendard est un type précis de support de tuyauterie assurant une suspension, par opposition à un appui par le dessous. « Pendard » est le terme consacré pour traduire « hanger ». On trouve aussi l'expression « collier de suspension ».
Voir à cet effet la phrase et le site ci-dessous."

disagree  HERBET Abel: non pour pendard

  -> Why not, it is certainly a standard term for a 'hanger'.

disagree  mchd: définition de pendard extraite du Larousse : Familier et vieux. Personne qui mérite d'être pendue ; fripon, vaurien. Dictionnaire de français Éditions Larousse. C'est la blague amusante du week-end de Tony ...../VRéf. concernent la tuyauterie.

  -> Sadly, general purpose dictionaries very often miss out on some of the finer definitions of more specialized technical terms. See quote from earlier KudoZ above.
