The Simpson Vertical Steel Rod Hanger from Simpson is a one-piece, self-drilling threaded anchor engineered to suspend 3/8 in. threaded rod in overhead installations from steel joists and beams. Designed for dry, interior, non-corrosive environments, this zinc-plated carbon steel anchor drives directly into steel members without predrilling, making it a fast and dependable solution for pipe hanging, fire protection systems, electrical conduit support, and cable-tray applications. Each pack includes a nut, and the anchor accepts 3/8 - 16 threaded rod with a 1/4 in. x 1 1/2 in. anchor body sized for steel members from 20 ga. to 14 ga.

Key Features

• Self-drilling design, no predrilling required - drives directly into steel members from 20 ga. to 14 ga., reducing installation steps and saving time on the job.
• Vertical overhead installation - purpose-built for suspending threaded rod from steel joists and beams, keeping rod-hanging systems properly aligned and securely anchored.
• Accepts 3/8 in. threaded rod at 16 threads per inch - matches standard rod sizing used in pipe hanging, fire protection, conduit, and cable-tray work, so the hardware integrates cleanly into common MEP systems.
• 1/4 in. x 1 1/2 in. anchor with #3 drill point - the self-tapping point is matched to the anchor body for consistent penetration depth and a secure hold in compatible steel members.
• Custom-matched nut driver (model RND62, sold separately) sets optimal depth - removes guesswork from installation and helps ensure every anchor is driven to the correct depth for reliable performance.
• Zinc-plated carbon steel construction - provides corrosion resistance appropriate for dry, interior applications while maintaining the structural integrity needed for overhead rod-hanging loads.
• Nut included - each anchor ships with a nut, so the components needed for rod attachment are ready to use right out of the pack.

Why This Product

• Faster installs with no predrilling - the self-drilling anchor bites directly into steel, eliminating a separate drilling step and helping crews move through overhead rod-hanging installations more efficiently.
• One-piece system built for MEP and construction trades - engineered specifically for pipe hanging, fire protection lines, electrical conduit, and cable-tray support, this anchor addresses the most common overhead suspension needs in a single, purpose-matched component.
• Depth-controlled installation for consistent results - compatibility with the model RND62 nut driver means every anchor can be set to the same optimal depth, reducing variability across installations and supporting quality workmanship.
• Matched hardware included for immediate use - with a nut included in each pack, the threaded rod hanger is ready to install without sourcing additional fasteners separately, keeping projects moving on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the RSV37112N require predrilling before installation?

No. This anchor is self-drilling, so no predrilling is required. It drives directly into steel members ranging from 20 gauge to 14 gauge.

What size threaded rod is this hanger designed to accept?

The RSV37112N is designed for 3/8 in. threaded rod with 16 threads per inch (3/8 - 16).

Is a special tool needed to set the 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.

Is this rod hanger suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?

No. The RSV37112N is recommended for use in dry, interior, non-corrosive environments only. The zinc-plated carbon steel finish is not rated for exposure to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions.
