Vertical Thread Rod Hanging Anchor
Vertical thread rod hanging anchor for steel. The pointed self-tapping screw cuts its own thread in light steel sections and purlins, and the female-threaded flange head accepts 1/4" or 3/8" threaded rod — no drilling or extra fixtures needed.

About the Vertical Thread Rod Hanging Anchor
Where the horizontal anchor enters from the side, this one goes straight up: the self-tapping point cuts its own thread in light steel and the hex flange head presents a female 1/4"-20 thread downward for the rod. One tool, one motion, and the drop point is ready for the ceiling grid.
Typical applications
- Ceiling suspension from steel — Grid hangers and direct-fix ceilings under steel roof structure.
- Service drops — Hanging sprinkler, conduit and cable tray supports at close centres.
- Pre-fabrication — Fixing hanger points into steel frames before they go up.
How to choose the right specification
- Rod size — 1/4"-20 UNC for standard ceiling work, 3/8" where the load is heavier or spans are wider.
- Length — 1-1/2" for standard steel, 2" for thicker sections and where the flange must clear insulation.
- Flange head — The hex flange spreads load and gives a spanner flat if the anchor needs to be backed out.
Supply, packing and OEM
Box or bulk carton, 1,000 pcs per size per size. Threads are rolled rather than cut, which keeps the grain of the steel intact and gives a stronger female thread in the head.
Standard packing is box / bulk carton, minimum order 1,000 pcs per size per size, with mixed sizes accepted on a first order. Bulk orders typically ship within 25–40 days after deposit, FOB Shanghai or Ningbo — about 2.5 hours from our workshop in Danyang.
Most of this item ships to Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, the Middle East and South America. Tell us the destination market and we match the sizes, thread standard, marking and packing language it uses — metric for Europe, Japan and South America, imperial where the trade still buys in inches, and carton copy in the language your customers read — then quote FOB, CIF or DDP against your order size.
