Itw Buildex 8181922 Threaded Rod Anchor 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 8181922 is a threaded rod anchor designed for use with 1/4-inch threaded rod in metal deck applications. Known as the XP 200 X-PRESS, this anchor provides a fast, reliable attachment point for hanging mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems from metal deck ceilings. It delivers an ultimate pullout strength of 1,146 pounds, making it well suited for suspended load applications where structural integrity is critical. Installation is straightforward, requiring no pre-drilling in many metal deck profiles. Licensed trade contractors in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical disciplines commonly specify this anchor for overhead support work.

This anchor is intended for metal deck ceiling installations in commercial and light industrial construction. It is used to suspend threaded rod from steel deck, supporting pipe hangers, conduit strut, duct hangers, and similar mechanical or electrical components. The XP 200 X-PRESS design is optimized for productivity in overhead work where repetitive anchor placement is required. It accepts standard 1/4-inch threaded rod and integrates directly into the deck without requiring separate hardware at the point of attachment.
