Threaded Rod Hanging Anchors
Suspender threaded rod anchors are a next step in the evolution of threaded rod anchoring. These one-piece anchors feature heads that are both end-tapped and cross-tapped to permit both in-line mounting and side-mounting of threaded rod systems, eye rings and more.
Suspender anchors feature a universal driver for all anchor sizes. Only the Suspender drive socket is needed with the self-drilling anchors for wood and steel, or in pre-drilled applications. This unique system allows users to consolidate inventory to complete a project and reduces downtime required to retrieve the correct part.
GENERAL APPLICATIONS AND USES
- Hanging Pipe and Sprinkler Systems
- HVAC Ductwork
- Strut Channels
- Suspending Conduit and Cable Trays
- Lighting Systems
- Suspended Ceiling
- Overhead Utilities
- Electrical Systems
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Ease and speed in overhead installation
- Lower in-place cost, when compared to beam clamps, lag bolts, and dropins
- Solid, one-piece, cold formed and machined anchor
- Coupler head is both end and cross drilled to accept vertical (in-line) and horizonal (side-mount) applications
- Entire system requires only one driver
- 3/8" to 1/2" thread adapter allows installation of 1/2" - 13 threaded rod components
