The Simpson Wood Rod Hanger Vertical Threaded Anchor for 3/8 in. Rod from Simpson is a one-piece fastening system designed for suspending threaded rod from overhead wood members. Engineered for vertical installation in dry, interior, non-corrosive environments, this carbon steel anchor installs without predrilling and accepts 3/8 in. threaded rod with 16 threads per inch - making it a reliable attachment point for pipe hanging, fire protection, electrical conduit support, and cable-tray suspension applications.

Key Features

• One-piece threaded anchor design - eliminates the need for separate hardware components, simplifying installation and reducing the chance of mismatched parts on the job.
• No predrilling required - drives directly into wood members, saving setup time and keeping overhead work moving faster on the job site.
• Type-17 point - provides fast, clean starts when driving into wood, reducing effort and improving consistency across multiple installations.
• Accepts 3/8 in. - 16 threaded rod - ensures a precise, secure fit with standard 3/8 in. threaded rod used across pipe hanging, conduit, and fire protection systems.
• Compatible with model RND62 nut driver (sold separately) - the custom-matched driver sets the anchor to its optimal installation depth, helping ensure consistent, code-ready performance every time.
• Zinc-plated carbon steel construction - provides corrosion resistance appropriate for dry, interior environments while delivering the structural durability expected in overhead support applications.
• Vertical overhead installation orientation - purpose-built geometry keeps the anchor properly aligned when driven up into joists and overhead wood members, reducing installation error.

Why This Product

• Faster installation with no predrilling - the Type-17 point drives directly into wood without a pilot hole, cutting steps out of overhead rod-hanging work and reducing total installation time on mechanical, electrical, and fire protection runs.
• Engineered for common suspended-rod applications - purpose-designed for pipe hanging, fire protection, electrical conduit, and cable-tray support, this anchor fits naturally into the workflow of the trades that rely on threaded rod suspension systems most.
• Depth-optimized installation with the right tooling - pairing the anchor with the compatible RND62 nut driver (sold separately) takes the guesswork out of setting depth, promoting consistent, reliable performance across every anchor in an installation.
• Trusted Simpson construction - made from zinc-plated carbon steel by a brand known throughout the structural fastening industry, this rod hanger delivers the material quality and dimensional precision overhead support applications demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size threaded rod does the RWV37212 accept?

This anchor is designed specifically for 3/8 in. threaded rod with 16 threads per inch (3/8 - 16 thread pitch).

Does this rod hanger require predrilling before installation?

No predrilling is required. The Type-17 point on the anchor provides for fast starts and allows direct installation into wood members using a drill or screw gun.

Is the RWV37212 suitable for outdoor or high-moisture environments?

No. This rod hanger is recommended for use in dry, interior, non-corrosive environments only. It is not rated for exterior, wet, or corrosive conditions.

Is there a recommended tool for setting this anchor to the correct depth?

Yes. A custom-matched nut driver (model RND62, sold separately) is recommended to set the anchor to its optimal installation depth for best performance.
