Empire 53B0050 Rod Angle Bracket 1/2 Inch Carbon Steel

Product Description

The EMPIRE 53B0050 is a 1/2 inch rod angle bracket designed for mechanical and structural support applications in HVAC, plumbing, and general trade installations. Fabricated from carbon steel, this bracket provides a rated load capacity of 560 pounds, making it suitable for securing threaded rod assemblies to structural surfaces at a right angle. The bracket accepts 1/2 inch diameter rod and is installed by licensed mechanical contractors, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians where overhead or wall-mounted rod support is required. Its compact, single-piece construction keeps the installation straightforward and the hardware count low.

This rod angle bracket is used in residential and commercial mechanical systems where threaded rod is suspended from or anchored to a structural substrate such as concrete, steel beam flanges, or wood framing. Typical applications include pipe hangers, duct support assemblies, equipment mounting frames, and conduit support systems. The 560 pound capacity rating makes it appropriate for moderate-load support runs in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Accepts 1/2 inch diameter threaded rod
• 560 pound load capacity for moderate-duty support applications
• Carbon steel construction for strength and durability in mechanical spaces
• Angle bracket geometry allows rod-to-surface transitions at 90 degrees
• Compact single-piece design minimizes installation hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with 1/2 inch threaded rod support systems used across HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical contractor or trade professional following applicable local building codes and ASCE loading guidelines. Confirm that the structural substrate is rated to handle the transferred load before fastening. Always verify rod diameter and thread pitch before assembly to ensure a secure fit. Do not exceed the rated 560 pound capacity of the bracket.
