Eaton BH6 Rod Hanger 3/8-16 Thread

Product Description

The EATON BH6 is a 3/8-16 threaded rod hanger designed for suspending pipe, conduit, duct, and other mechanical systems from structural overhead supports. This fitting accepts 3/8-16 threaded rod and provides a secure anchor point in suspended support assemblies. It is a standard component in pipe hangers and support systems found in commercial and industrial mechanical rooms, as well as residential construction. Electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of hanger as part of trapeze assemblies, strut systems, and individual rod drop applications.

The BH6 is suited for general-purpose overhead support work where 3/8-16 threaded rod is the specified size. Typical applications include hanging conduit runs, copper or steel pipe, HVAC ductwork, and cable tray from concrete decks, steel beams, or wood framing. It is commonly used in both new construction and retrofit mechanical installations where threaded rod suspension is required by the engineer of record or local code.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 threaded rod compatibility for standard mechanical support assemblies
• Compact and lightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy handling and high-volume installation
• Compatible with trapeze hanger, strut, and single-rod drop configurations
• Suitable for pipe, conduit, duct, and cable tray support applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 3/8-16 threaded rod suspension systems used in commercial and residential mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or pipefitters following applicable building codes including the NEC and IPC. De-energize any nearby electrical systems and relieve system pressure before working on active pipe or conduit runs. Ensure the overhead anchor point is rated for the combined load of the rod, hanger, and supported system before tightening. Do not overtighten the rod connection, which can distort the hanger and reduce load capacity.
