Itw Buildex 8044957 Threaded Rod Anchor 1/4 in

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 8044957 is a DST 30 Sammys for Steel threaded rod anchor designed to suspend threaded rod from steel structural members. It accepts 3/8-inch threaded rod and installs with a 1/4-inch diameter drive point directly into steel, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes in many applications. With an ultimate pullout rating of 446 pounds, it provides a reliable, load-rated suspension point for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing hangers. Licensed electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC installers use this anchor to hang conduit, pipe, duct, and equipment from steel beams and purlins in both commercial and industrial settings.

This anchor is suited for overhead suspension applications in commercial and industrial construction where threaded rod hangers must be attached to structural steel. It is commonly installed in steel-framed buildings for HVAC duct support, plumbing pipe hangers, electrical conduit runs, and similar MEP trade work. The Sammys for Steel design allows fast, single-step installation into steel without welding or powder-actuated fasteners, making it a practical choice for production installations.
