Thomas Betts SSF-BBC Beam Standard Clamp 100 Lb

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS SSF-BBC is a beam standard clamp designed to support threaded rod suspended from structural steel beams. Fabricated from spring steel with an anodized finish, it accepts rod sizes of 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch and handles a maximum flange thickness of 1/2 inch. Rated for 100 lb load capacity, this clamp provides a secure, vibration-resistant attachment point for electrical conduit, cable tray, mechanical piping supports, and related suspended systems. Licensed electricians and mechanical contractors install this fitting during rough-in stages where structural beam attachment is required without welding or beam drilling.

The SSF-BBC is suited for commercial and industrial installations where suspended support systems must attach to wide-flange or standard I-beams. Typical applications include electrical conduit hangers, cable tray support drops, and HVAC duct suspension in steel-framed structures. The clamp accommodates 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch threaded rod, making it compatible with the most common rod sizes used in suspended support assemblies. This fitting is appropriate where a clean, tool-minimal attachment to beam flanges up to 1/2 inch thick is required.

Installation Notes

Installation of beam clamps falls under the scope of licensed electricians or qualified mechanical contractors in accordance with applicable NEC or local code requirements. De-energize any nearby electrical systems before working in the vicinity of live conductors. Verify that the structural beam flange thickness does not exceed 1/2 inch before seating the clamp, and confirm the suspended rod size matches either 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch before assembly. Do not exceed the rated 100 lb load capacity.
