Peco wsh7170j Side Mount Vertigo Wood Hanger 3/8 Inch Rod

Product Description

The PECO wsh7170j is a side mount Vertigo hanger designed for wood base materials, supplied with the installation tool. It is part of the Vertigo rod hanging system, an all-steel threaded fastening platform engineered for suspending steel threaded rod vertically or laterally overhead. This specific unit accommodates 3/8 inch diameter steel threaded rod and is intended for lateral side mount installation onto wood joists, columns, and trusses. Licensed trade professionals including electricians, fire protection installers, plumbers, and pipe hangers use this fastener in overhead suspension work where wood framing is the base material.

The wsh7170j is applied in residential and commercial construction for pipe hanging, fire protection systems, electrical conduit support, and cable tray suspension. It installs onto wood frame columns, beams, and joists as a side mount fastener, allowing lateral rod placement where vertical overhead access is limited or where the layout calls for rod attachment along the face of structural wood members. The included Vertigo Socket Driver tool supports proper installation with a screw gun or hammer drill.
