The Simpson Horizontal Wood Rod Hanger is a one-piece threaded anchor system engineered by Simpson for suspending 3/8 in. threaded rod from the side of wood joists, columns, and overhead members. Built from zinc-plated carbon steel, this horizontal rod hanger delivers a fast, reliable fastening solution for pipe hanging, fire protection system support, electrical conduit suspension, and cable-tray applications - all without requiring predrilling. Recommended for dry, interior, non-corrosive environments, it is a purpose-built anchor wherever horizontal rod installation into wood is required.

Key Features

• Horizontal installation orientation - purpose-designed for driving into the side of joists, columns, and overhead wood members, giving you a clean and secure attachment point where vertical anchors simply cannot be used.
• No predrilling required - drives directly into wood, saving time on the job and eliminating a separate drilling step during conduit, pipe, or cable-tray installations.
• Type-17 point - provides fast starts when driving with a drill or screw gun, reducing installation effort and keeping work moving efficiently.
• Custom-matched nut driver compatibility (model RND62, sold separately) - sets the anchor to its optimal depth consistently, ensuring a secure and repeatable installation every time.
• Designed for 3/8 in. threaded rod at 16 threads per inch - matches standard rod sizing used in pipe hanging, fire protection, electrical conduit, and cable-tray applications, so there is no guesswork about compatibility.
• Zinc-plated carbon steel construction - provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish suited for dry, interior environments where a dependable long-term connection is expected.
• One-piece fastening system - simplifies inventory and installation by combining the anchor and attachment point into a single component, reducing parts on the job site.

Why This Product

• Eliminates predrilling for faster overhead work - the Type-17 point drives directly into wood without a pilot hole, cutting installation steps and allowing crews to hang threaded rod for conduit, fire sprinkler lines, or cable trays more efficiently.
• Built specifically for horizontal rod suspension in wood - unlike generic anchors, this hanger is engineered for side-of-joist and column installation, giving mechanical and electrical contractors a dedicated solution for horizontal wood applications.
• Consistent, depth-controlled installation - compatibility with the matched nut driver (RND62) removes guesswork from seating depth, delivering uniform, reliable connections across every anchor driven on a project.
• Versatile across multiple MEP applications - approved for pipe hanging, fire protection system rod suspension, electrical conduit support, and cable-tray hanging, making this a single anchor choice that covers a broad range of interior building system installations.
