Itw Buildex 8039957 Threaded Rod Anchor 3/8 in for Steel

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 8039957 is a threaded rod anchor designed to suspend 3/8 inch threaded rod from steel structural members. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 units, this anchor provides a secure, vibration-resistant attachment point for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing hanging applications. With an ultimate pullout rating of 2,200 pounds, it delivers reliable load-bearing performance in demanding overhead installations. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors commonly specify this type of anchor for suspended system runs in commercial and light industrial settings.

This anchor is suited for overhead suspension work where threaded rod must be anchored directly to steel beams, purlins, or structural steel framing. It is commonly used in commercial construction and retrofit projects for supporting conduit, pipe, and ductwork runs. The design eliminates the need for drilling or welding into structural steel, making it a practical option for time-sensitive installations across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical, electrical, or plumbing contractors working on overhead suspension systems. Verify that the structural steel member is free of debris, corrosion, or coatings that could affect anchor seating before installation. Always confirm that the applied load does not exceed the rated pullout capacity of 2,200 pounds. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical systems before working overhead, and follow applicable local building codes and OSHA guidelines for overhead work.
