Horizontal Thread Rod Hanging Anchor
Horizontal thread rod hanging anchor for steel. The pointed self-drilling rod is driven into light steel sections and purlins, and the side hole accepts 1/4" or 3/8" threaded rod — a fast way to create hanging points without welding.

About the Horizontal Thread Rod Hanging Anchor
Drilling a steel purlin and then welding a nut onto it is slow, hot work. This anchor replaces both steps: the pointed body is driven into the steel section and the side hole takes 1/4" or 3/8" threaded rod, so a hanging point exists in under a minute with nothing more than a drill.
Typical applications
- Suspended ceilings from steel — Dropping rods from purlins and light steel framing in commercial fit-outs.
- Pipe and conduit support — Hanging services from steel roof structure without welding or hot work permits.
- Refurbishment — Adding hanging points where the existing steel cannot be drilled through.
How to choose the right specification
- Rod size — 1/4"-20 UNC for light ceiling grids, 3/8" rod for heavier services. Both are available in the same body length.
- Body length — 1-1/2" for thin sections and flanges, 2" where the steel is thicker or the rod needs more clearance.
- Steel thickness — Confirm the purlin gauge — the self-drilling point needs enough material to bite into.
