Eaton BH4-F12 Purlin Hanger 1/4 in Threaded Rod 100 Lb

Product Description

The EATON BH4-F12 is a Z-purlin hanger designed to support 0.25 inch threaded rod from steel purlin framing members. Part of the Eaton B-Line series of threaded rod and drop wire supports, this hanger provides a secure mechanical connection point for hanging pipe, conduit, duct, cable tray, and other building system components from structural purlins. It is compact, with a 1 inch height, 1 inch length, and 1 inch width, and carries a rated load capacity of 100 pounds. Licensed electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fastener during rough-in work in commercial and industrial construction.

This hanger is suited for commercial and industrial applications where threaded rod drops must be anchored to Z-purlin or similar light-gauge structural steel framing. It is commonly used in metal building construction where structural steel purlins serve as the primary overhead framing. The BH4-F12 accepts 0.25 inch diameter threaded rod and is categorized as a universal beam fastener within the B-Line product family. Typical installations include pipe support runs, electrical raceway hangers, and mechanical system drops in metal frame structures.
