Product Description
The Simpson 1/4 in. x 2 in. Vertical Wood Rod Hanger is a one-piece threaded anchor from Simpson engineered to suspend threaded rod from overhead wood members with no predrilling required.

Key Features
- One-piece threaded anchor design - eliminates extra hardware and simplifies the rod-hanging installation process from start to finish
- Vertical installation orientation - purpose-built for overhead wood member applications, keeping threaded rod suspension secure and properly aligned
- No predrilling required - drives directly into wood without a pilot hole, reducing labor time and the number of tools needed on the job
- Type-17 point - provides fast, clean starts when driving into wood, minimizing slip and speeding up installation
- Custom-matched nut driver compatibility (model RND62, sold separately) - sets the anchor to its optimal depth consistently, helping ensure uniform, reliable performance across every installation point
- Sized for 1/4 in. - 20 threaded rod - matches the standard 1/4 in. rod diameter with 20 threads per inch, making compatibility straightforward with common threaded rod stock
- Zinc-plated carbon steel construction - provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish suited to dry, interior environments where these hangers are recommended for use
Why This Product
- Streamlined overhead rod suspension - as a self-contained, one-piece fastening system, this threaded wood anchor reduces installation steps and supports a wide range of overhead applications including pipe hanging, fire protection, electrical conduit, and cable-tray support
- No pilot hole needed - the Type-17 point drives directly into wood members, cutting prep time and keeping the installation process moving efficiently without additional drilling equipment
- Consistent depth, every time - pairing this anchor with the matched RND62 nut driver (sold separately) takes the guesswork out of seating depth, promoting uniform, dependable holding performance across an entire installation
- Purpose-built fit for standard threaded rod - the 1/4 in. - 20 thread specification aligns directly with widely used threaded rod sizing, making this hanger a practical, drop-in solution for common mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support systems
