Itw Buildex 8294922 Threaded Rod Anchor 3/8 Inch Metal Deck

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 8294922 is a swivel-style threaded rod anchor designed for securing 3/8-inch threaded rod to metal deck substrates. Known as the SXP 20 Swivel X-Press, this anchor provides a mechanical attachment point for suspended systems including HVAC ductwork, pipe hangers, electrical conduit supports, and sprinkler lines. The swivel design allows angular adjustment after installation, accommodating off-axis rod runs without stressing the attachment point. With an ultimate pullout rating of 1,061 pounds, it delivers a measurable load capacity suited to commercial and industrial overhead support applications. Installation does not require pre-drilling, making it a time-efficient solution for metal deck work.

This anchor is intended for use in metal deck construction, typically found in commercial buildings, warehouses, and industrial facilities. It is well suited for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades that need reliable overhead rod-hanger attachment points in new construction or retrofit projects. The Swivel X-Press design is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and electrical contractors working above suspended ceilings or in open-deck interiors where threaded rod drops are required for system support.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch threaded rod on metal deck substrates. Suitable for overhead mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support applications in commercial and industrial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical, electrical, or plumbing contractors working on metal deck overhead structures. Verify metal deck gauge and condition before installing to ensure substrate integrity. Follow applicable building codes and load tables when designing hanger spacing and rod support layouts. Do not exceed the rated pullout load, and inspect installed anchors before loading suspended systems.
