Abb fbc2 Fast Set Beam Clamp 600 Lb 3/8-16 Rod Cast Steel

Product Description

The ABB fbc2 is a fast-set beam clamp rated for 600 pounds of load, designed to attach threaded rod to structural steel beams without drilling or welding. Cast from steel for strength and durability, this clamp accepts 3/8 inch-16 threaded rod and is built to the UL E160899 standard. It is a standard hardware item in electrical, mechanical, and plumbing rough-in work wherever suspended systems need to attach to I-beams or wide-flange structural members. Electricians, pipe hangers, and mechanical contractors use this type of fitting when code-compliant, tool-friendly attachment to beam flanges is required.

The fbc2 is suited for residential and light commercial construction and renovation projects where conduit runs, pipe hangers, strut channel, or equipment supports must be suspended from structural steel. Its fast-set design speeds installation in overhead applications, making it a practical choice on projects where labor efficiency on beam connections matters. The 600 pound load rating accommodates a wide range of suspended load scenarios typical in electrical and mechanical rough-in work.

Key Features

• 600 pound load rating suitable for a wide range of suspended support applications
• Fast-set design allows quick attachment to beam flanges without drilling
• Accepts 3/8 inch-16 threaded rod, the most common rod size in hanger assemblies
• Cast steel construction for mechanical strength and long-term durability
• Listed to UL E160899 for code-compliant installations
• Compact profile: 1.6 inches long by 0.85 inches wide

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment beam clamp for use with 3/8 inch-16 threaded rod hanger assemblies on structural steel beams in electrical and mechanical support systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or mechanical contractors working under NEC or applicable mechanical codes. Before installing or adjusting any suspended support hardware, ensure all loads are relieved and no energized conductors are within the work zone. Verify the beam flange thickness is within the clamp's rated engagement range before applying load. Do not exceed the 600 pound rated load capacity.
