Itw Buildex 560182 Threaded Rod Anchor 5/8 in 2060 Lb

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560182 is a zinc-plated steel threaded rod anchor designed for vertical, end-drilled mounting applications in wood substrates. The anchor measures 5/8 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, delivering an ultimate pullout strength of 2,060 pounds. It accepts 3/8-inch threaded rod and provides a secure, load-rated connection point for suspended systems including mechanical, plumbing, and electrical support runs. Licensed trade professionals rely on this anchor when attaching threaded rod to overhead wood framing members in light commercial and residential construction.

This anchor is suited for vertical installation into wood joists, beams, or blocking where threaded rod must be suspended downward. Typical applications include HVAC duct hanger installations, pipe support assemblies, and conduit rack systems where a reliable, code-acceptable attachment to wood framing is required. The end-drilled design allows the rod to be inserted directly into the anchor body after the anchor is set, simplifying assembly in overhead work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical, plumbing, or electrical contractors as part of a hanger or support assembly. Drill the appropriate pilot hole diameter into the wood member before driving the anchor to ensure proper seating and rated pullout performance. Follow applicable building codes, including ASCE 7 load requirements and local mechanical codes, when sizing hanger assemblies for system weight. Do not exceed the published ultimate pullout rating, and apply an appropriate safety factor per project engineering requirements.
