Itw Buildex 560185 Threaded Rod Anchor 5/8 in Zinc-plated 25 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560185 is a horizontal cross-drilled threaded rod anchor designed for securing 3/8 inch threaded rod to steel structures. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this anchor resists corrosion in typical indoor and light commercial environments. It measures 5/8 inch in diameter and 1 inch in length, and delivers an ultimate pullout rating of 1,477 pounds, making it a reliable fastener for mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC pipe and conduit support applications. Each package contains 25 anchors. Installation requires cross-drilled mounting, which allows the anchor to seat securely against a steel member before a threaded rod is inserted.

This anchor is used in commercial and industrial construction where threaded rod must be anchored horizontally to steel beams, struts, or structural members. Typical applications include suspended pipe hangers, conduit supports, HVAC duct suspension systems, and general mechanical system support runs. The 3/8 inch rod compatibility makes it a common fit for standard trade support hardware in both new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, electricians, or HVAC mechanics as part of pipe or conduit support systems. Drill the appropriate cross-hole in the steel member before inserting the anchor, and verify the base material is structural steel rated for the intended load. Follow applicable codes including NFPA, IMC, and local mechanical codes for hanger spacing and load requirements. Do not use in concrete, masonry, or non-structural sheet metal without confirming separate product suitability.
