Product Description
The Simpson 3/8 in. Vertical Steel Rod Hanger from Simpson is a one-piece threaded anchor fastening system engineered to suspend 3/8 in. threaded rod from steel joists and beams in vertical overhead applications. Built from zinc-plated carbon steel with a self-drilling tip, this rod hanger drives directly into steel members without predrilling, making it a dependable choice for pipe hanging, fire protection sprinkler support, electrical conduit suspension, and cable-tray installations in dry, interior, non-corrosive environments.
Key Features
- Self-drilling tip, no predrilling required - drives directly into steel members to speed up installation and reduce the number of tools needed on the job.
- Vertical orientation design - engineered specifically for overhead suspension from steel joists and beams, keeping threaded rod properly aligned for pipe, conduit, and cable-tray support.
- Compatible with 3/8 in. - 16 threaded rod - matches the most common rod diameter and thread pitch used in commercial and industrial hanging applications, simplifying material coordination.
- Custom-matched nut driver compatible (model RND62, sold separately) - sets the anchor to its optimal installation depth consistently, reducing the risk of under- or over-driving.
- Zinc-plated carbon steel construction - provides corrosion resistance appropriate for dry, interior environments while maintaining the structural integrity needed for reliable rod suspension.
- Works with steel members from 20 ga. to 14 ga. - accommodates a practical range of steel thicknesses commonly found in commercial steel-framed buildings, reducing the need for multiple anchor types on a single project.
Why This Product
- One-piece system that simplifies overhead rod hanging - the anchor and integrated drill point work together as a single fastener, eliminating extra components and keeping overhead installation straightforward for pipe hanging, fire protection, conduit, and cable-tray work.
- No predrilling means faster installation - the self-drilling tip cuts through steel members directly, saving setup time on jobs where dozens or hundreds of suspension points are required.
- Broad steel gauge compatibility from 20 ga. to 14 ga. - a single anchor model covers the range of steel thicknesses typical in commercial and industrial framing, reducing procurement complexity on multi-system projects.
- Engineered by Simpson for verified rod-hanging performance - designed specifically for vertical threaded rod suspension in overhead steel applications, with defined compatible applications including fire protection, electrical conduit, and cable-tray systems in dry, interior environments.
