Eaton bh4-e-5-8 Rod to Beam Hanger 1/4 Inch Threaded Rod

Product Description

The EATON bh4-e-5-8 is a rod-to-beam hanger designed to suspend 1/4-inch diameter threaded rod from structural beam flanges ranging from 5/16 inch to 1/2 inch thick. Manufactured from ASTM A684, AISI 1055 carbon steel with a MIL-P-16232 Type Z zinc-phosphate finish, this hanger delivers corrosion resistance and structural durability in channel support applications. With a 160-pound load rating and clamp-style mounting, it provides a secure, tool-accessible connection point for threaded rod drop assemblies in suspended support systems. Licensed electricians, mechanical contractors, and structural installers use this hanger in commercial and industrial settings where code-compliant strut and rod suspension systems are required.

This hanger is suited for use in commercial and industrial construction where threaded rod must be suspended from beam flanges. Typical applications include HVAC duct support, conduit tray suspension, pipe hanger assemblies, and cable support systems. The clamp-mount design eliminates the need for drilling into the beam, making it practical for retrofit and new construction installations alike. It is listed to UL standards applicable in both the United States and Canada, making it appropriate for projects governed by North American building codes.

Compatibility

Designed for use in channel and strut support systems where 1/4-inch threaded rod is suspended from beam flanges between 5/16 inch and 1/2 inch thick. Clamp mounting is compatible with standard structural beam flanges within that thickness range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians, mechanical contractors, or structural trades following applicable building and mechanical codes. Shut down and de-energize any nearby electrical systems before working in the vicinity of live conductors. Verify beam flange thickness falls within the 5/16-inch to 1/2-inch rated range before applying the clamp to ensure full load rating is achieved. Do not exceed the rated 160-pound load capacity; account for all suspended components, including conduit, pipe, and fittings, when calculating total load.
