Abb U579-3/8 Ceiling Flange Beam Clamp 3/8 in Rod

Product Description

The ABB U579-3/8 is a ceiling flange beam clamp designed for suspending threaded rod from structural steel beams. Part of the ABB Series 500 beam clamp line, it accepts 3/8-inch threaded rod and mounts through 13/32-inch mounting holes. The body spans 3.5 inches in width and is constructed from steel for durability in commercial and industrial overhead installations. HVAC contractors, plumbers, and electricians use this type of clamp when suspending pipe, ductwork, conduit, or equipment from wide-flange, I-beam, or similar structural members.

This clamp is suited for ceiling suspension applications in commercial construction and industrial facilities. It is commonly installed during rough-in phases when mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems require secure overhead support from exposed structural steel. The 3/8-inch rod size is a standard thread commonly used across HVAC duct hangers, pipe hangers, and electrical conduit support systems.

Key Features

• Accepts 3/8-inch threaded rod for standard suspension applications
• 13/32-inch mounting holes for bolt-through attachment to beam flanges
• 3.5-inch body width to span beam flange surfaces
• Steel construction for strength in overhead load-bearing use
• Ceiling flange orientation for top-of-beam mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for use with 3/8-inch threaded rod suspension systems on structural steel beams in commercial and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical, electrical, or plumbing contractors in accordance with applicable building codes. De-energize any nearby electrical systems and relieve system pressure before working in the overhead area. Use appropriately rated hardware and verify that the beam flange thickness and load rating are compatible with the intended suspended load before torquing fasteners. Follow applicable IBC, IFGC, or NEC hanger and support requirements for the trade discipline being served.
