Function

Designed for attaching hanger rod to the top flange of a beam or bar joist, where the flange thickness does not exceed ³/₄” (19.05mm). The open U design permits rod adjustment. The universal design of the ³/₈” Fig. 353 allows it to be used in an inverted position on the bottom flange of a beam as well.

Material: Malleable iron with hardened steel cup point set screw and locknut

Finish: Plain or electro-galvanized (Hot dipped galvanized with electro-galvanized hardware upon request)

Approvals: Underwriters’ Laboratories Listed in the U.S. (UL), Canada (CUL), for sizes ³/₈” to ⁷/₈” only. Factory Mutual Approved for rod sizes ³/₈” and ¹/₂” only. Complies with Federal Specifications A-A-1192A (Type 19) and Manufacturers’ Standardization Society ANSI/MSS SPSP-58 (Type 19) which supersedes ANSI/MSS SP-69. Fig. 353 sized for ³/₈” rod can be used in an inverted position (bottom of beam) and follows the same U.S. (UL), Canada (CUL), and Factory Mutual Approvals. Used in this manner the ³/₈” Fig. 353 also complies with Federal Specifications A-A-1192A (Type 23) and Manufacturers’ Standardization Society ANSI/MSS SPSP-58 (Type 23) which supersedes ANSI/MSS SP-69. (Approvals are only valid for beam clamps with locknut). Buy American Act compliant.

Ordering: Specify figure number, rod size, and finish.

NOTE: When a torque wrench is unavailable, the setscrew should be tightened so it contacts the I-beam and then an additional ¹/₄  to ¹/₂ turn.
