Itw Buildex 560174 Threaded Rod Anchor 5/8 in 970 Lb

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560174 is a zinc-plated steel threaded rod anchor designed for vertical, end-drilled mounting applications. It accepts a 3/8 inch threaded rod and features a 5/8 inch body diameter with a 2 inch length. The anchor delivers an ultimate pullout strength of 970 pounds, making it a reliable fastening solution in steel structural and mechanical systems. Licensed trades including HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians rely on this type of anchor to suspend threaded rod from steel overhead structures for pipe hangers, duct supports, conduit runs, and similar applications.

This anchor is suited for use with steel base materials in both commercial and industrial settings. It is commonly installed in suspended ceiling grid systems, mechanical room overhead steel, and structural steel framing where vertical rod drops are required. The end-drilled design allows the threaded rod to insert directly into the anchor body from below, simplifying rod installation in overhead applications. Package quantity is 25 anchors per pack.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable mechanical and structural codes. Drill the appropriate diameter hole in the steel base material before driving the anchor, and ensure the steel is free of debris at the bore site. De-energize any nearby electrical systems and depressurize adjacent piping before working overhead. Do not exceed the rated ultimate pullout load, and verify that the installed rod hanger assembly meets the load requirements of the supported system.
