Greenfield 191-1/2 Side Beam Rod Connector 0.5 Inch Rod

Product Description

The GREENFIELD 191-1/2 is a side beam rod connector designed to fasten 0.5-inch threaded rod to structural beams in mechanical support systems. It provides a secure, rigid attachment point where hanging rod must meet a beam flange or web, keeping pipe hangers, duct supports, and equipment mounts locked in position. The connector measures 2.75 inches in length, 1.1 inches in width, and 1.25 inches in height, and weighs approximately 0.29 pounds. It is built for use in demanding construction and mechanical environments where a reliable rod-to-beam connection is required.

This connector is suited for commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping support installations. It is commonly used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics when suspending pipe runs, duct hangers, or equipment from structural beams using threaded rod. The compact profile allows installation in tight framing conditions where clearance to the beam flange is limited.

Key Features

• Accepts 0.5-inch threaded rod for a direct, secure beam attachment
• Side-mount design allows rod connection at the beam web or flange without top access
• Compact body — 2.75 inches long, 1.1 inches wide, 1.25 inches tall — fits in confined framing bays
• Lightweight at 0.29 pounds, reducing handling fatigue during overhead installation
• Suitable for plumbing and HVAC mechanical support applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 0.5-inch threaded rod side beam hanger systems used in commercial and industrial plumbing and HVAC mechanical support installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC mechanics working on overhead mechanical support systems. De-energize any adjacent electrical systems and relieve pressure from any piping before working in the installation area. Follow applicable building codes and SMACNA or ASHRAE guidelines for hanger spacing and load ratings. Do not exceed the load capacity appropriate for the rod diameter and connector grade in use.
