Itw Buildex 8037957 Threaded Rod Anchor 3/8 in for Steel

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 8037957 is a SAMMYS-style threaded rod anchor designed to suspend 3/8 inch threaded rod from steel structural members. Known in the trade as the DSTR 1-1/2 configuration, this anchor allows contractors to attach hanging rod directly to steel without welding or drilling through the flange. It is a single-piece mechanical fastener that threads onto the rod and bites into the steel, creating a secure suspension point rated for significant vertical load. Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing contractors install this type of anchor during overhead rough-in work where threaded rod hangers support conduit, pipe, duct, and equipment.

This anchor is suited for commercial and light industrial applications where overhead steel structure serves as the attachment surface. It is commonly installed during new construction and retrofit projects, particularly in suspended ceiling systems, electrical conduit runs, and mechanical piping hangers. The anchor accepts 3/8 inch all-thread rod, which is the standard diameter for most light-duty suspended load applications in trade work. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per order, with individual package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Accepts 3/8 inch threaded rod for standard suspension applications
• Designed for attachment to steel structural members without welding
• Ultimate pullout rating of 1,510 pounds for reliable overhead load support
• DSTR 1-1/2 configuration for steel flange installation
• Lightweight at 0.07 pounds per anchor for easy handling overhead

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock threaded rod anchor for use with 3/8 inch all-thread rod in steel overhead suspension applications.

Installation Notes

Licensed electricians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install threaded rod anchors during overhead rough-in. Confirm the steel attachment surface is clean and within the rated material thickness before installation. Always verify that the applied load does not exceed the published pullout rating for the anchor. Follow applicable NFPA, NEC, and IPC hanger spacing requirements for the system being supported.
