Metallics MBC12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics MBC12 beam clamp take?
The MBC12 beam clamp is tapped 1/2-13, so it accepts 1/2 inch diameter threaded rod with standard UNC coarse thread (13 threads per inch). If your hanger rod is 3/8-16, this is the wrong size clamp.
2) Can I use the MBC12 beam clamp to hang conduit from a steel beam?
Yes, that is the job. The MBC12 jaws clamp onto the flange of a steel beam or bar joist and the 1/2-13 tapped hole takes threaded rod, which you then drop to your conduit hangers, strut, or pipe clamps. No drilling or welding of the structural steel.
3) How many beam clamps come in a box of Metallics MBC12?
They ship 10 clamps to a box. That is the pack type for the MBC12, so plan your hanger spacing and order whole boxes rather than single pieces.
4) Do I need anything besides the beam clamp to hang a run of conduit?
The MBC12 is just the attachment to the steel. You still need 1/2 inch threaded rod cut to length, a nut and washer at the clamp if your method calls for it, and whatever supports the conduit itself at the bottom, strut and strut straps, a trapeze, or individual conduit hangers. Order those separately.
5) Is the Metallics MBC12 the right part number to reorder?
For the 1/2-13 malleable beam clamp, the Metallics part number is MBC12. Metallics sizes this family by rod thread, so MBC12 is specifically the 1/2 inch version.
