Itw Buildex 8295922 Threaded Rod Anchor 3/8 in Purlin

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 8295922 is a swivel-style threaded rod anchor designed to secure 3/8-inch threaded rod to purlin framing in suspended systems. Known as the SXP 35 Swivel X-Press, this anchor allows angular adjustment after installation, making it well-suited for runs where the rod does not hang perfectly plumb. It delivers an ultimate pullout rating of 1,558 pounds, providing a dependable load path in structural and MEP hanging applications. Electricians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working overhead in steel-framed buildings will find this anchor a practical fit for their suspension work.

This anchor is used in commercial and industrial construction where threaded rod must be attached to steel purlin framing for HVAC duct hangers, conduit supports, pipe hangers, and similar suspended-load applications. The swivel design accommodates off-angle rod installations without requiring the rod to be perfectly perpendicular to the purlin, reducing layout time and allowing flexibility in the field. It is particularly useful in large-span steel buildings where purlins serve as the primary overhead structure.

Key Features

• Accepts 3/8-inch threaded rod for standard hanger assemblies
• Swivel design allows angular adjustment after setting, accommodating off-plumb rod runs
• Ultimate pullout strength of 1,558 pounds for reliable load support
• Engineered for direct attachment to steel purlin framing
• Compact, single-package unit suitable for repetitive overhead installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style suspension anchor for 3/8-inch threaded rod systems installed on steel purlin framing in commercial and industrial overhead applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians, mechanical contractors, or ironworkers following applicable building and mechanical codes. De-energize any nearby electrical systems and secure the work area before performing overhead work. Verify that the purlin flange thickness and steel grade are within the anchor manufacturer's tested parameters before setting. Do not exceed the rated pullout load when sizing hanger assemblies.
