I really don't think you want to nest these in any ducts.  Instead you would model these in a seperate category.  Do you really need nested families for nuts and washers or would you just need a quantity for each placement and that could be a seperate shared parameter.  I would think the later.

yes you are right. i dont want to nest the support with duct.

the important thing is to show this support in duct layout 

 to get the quantities like how many supports used, then the sub categories

like number of nuts washer threaded rod etc....
