It accepts 1\/2-inch diameter threaded rod and is rated for a load capacity of 800 pounds, making it suitable for hanging pipe, conduit, duct, and equipment support systems. The clamp attaches directly to a beam flange without drilling, providing a secure, adjustable anchor point. Licensed electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC installers commonly use this type of hardware during overhead rough-in work on both commercial and light industrial projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis beam clamp is used in overhead support applications where threaded rod must be suspended from structural steel I-beams or wide-flange beams. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and above-ceiling installations. The 800-pound capacity accommodates a range of hanging loads including pipe assemblies, electrical conduit runs, HVAC duct hangers, and equipment trapeze supports. Installation does not require welding or beam drilling, keeping the structural steel intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts 1\/2-inch threaded rod for standard hanger assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e800-pound load capacity for reliable overhead support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in mechanical and electrical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttaches to beam flange without drilling or welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact design suited for tight overhead spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment beam clamp compatible with 1\/2-inch threaded rod hanger systems used in typical mechanical, electrical, and plumbing overhead support applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician, plumber, or pipefitter in accordance with applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC support spacing requirements. Confirm the beam flange thickness falls within the clamp's rated grip range before loading. Do not exceed the 800-pound rated capacity, and inspect the clamp seating before applying load. Always follow applicable local codes for hanger spacing and support intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 800 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.53 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMAS BETTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: E-231 1\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542976201010,"sku":"E-231 1\/2","price":76.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6be0beaaa6125633679689f7b053fb15.jpg?v=1785912872","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-e-231-1-2-beam-clamp-800-lb-1-2-in-rod","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
