Itw Buildex 560181 Threaded Rod Anchor Zinc-plated 25 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560181 is a zinc-plated steel threaded rod anchor designed for vertical, end-drilled mounting applications. It provides a secure anchor point for threaded rod installations into wood substrates. The anchor measures 5/8 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, with a rated ultimate pullout strength of 2,113 pounds. Sold in a package of 25 units, this anchor is suited for structural and mechanical suspension work performed by licensed contractors, HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians who need reliable overhead rod support.

This anchor is intended for use in wood construction where vertical threaded rod runs must be anchored at the end. Typical applications include suspension of pipe hangers, conduit supports, HVAC ductwork hangers, and similar overhead mechanical systems in residential and light commercial construction. The end-drilled vertical mount design keeps the rod axis aligned with the anchor centerline, which is standard in overhead support assemblies where load transfers vertically through the threaded rod.

Key Features

• Zinc-plated steel construction resists corrosion in standard interior environments
• Ultimate pullout strength rated at 2,113 pounds for reliable load-bearing in wood
• 5/8 inches diameter body for consistent fit in drilled pilot holes
• 2-1/2 inches length provides adequate embedment depth in wood framing
• Vertical end-drilled design keeps threaded rod coaxially aligned with the anchor
• Package of 25 units suits multi-point suspension layouts

Compatibility

Designed for use with wood substrates in vertical, end-drilled threaded rod anchor applications. Accepts standard threaded rod per the specified 3/8 inches thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical, electrical, or plumbing contractors working with overhead support systems. Drill the pilot hole to the diameter and depth specified by the anchor manufacturer before driving the anchor. Confirm the wood substrate is structurally sound and free of splits or defects at the anchor location. Always verify that the installed assembly meets applicable load requirements under IFGC, IPC, NEC, or local mechanical codes before putting the system into service.
