Metallics BC14SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics BC14SS beam clamp take?
The BC14SS beam clamp is tapped 1/4-20, so it accepts 1/4-20 threaded rod or a 1/4-20 machine screw or hanger stud. If your hanger run uses 3/8-16 rod, this clamp will not accept it.
2) Is the BC14SS beam clamp stainless steel?
Yes, the BC14SS is the stainless steel version of the Metallics beam clamp. That is the one to use on exterior structure, wash-down areas, food plants, coastal sites, or anywhere a plated steel clamp would rust out and drop the hanger.
3) Do I need anything else besides the BC14SS clamp to hang conduit?
Yes. The BC14SS is only the attachment to the steel. You still need 1/4-20 threaded rod or a screw cut to your drop length, plus whatever carries the raceway at the bottom, a conduit hanger, a one hole strap on strut, or a pipe ring. None of that is in the bag of 10.
4) How many beam clamps come in a bag of Metallics BC14SS?
They ship 10 clamps to a bag. Metallics packages the BC14SS as a bagged quantity rather than loose pieces, so order by the bag of 10 and plan hanger spacing accordingly.
5) What is a beam clamp used for on a conduit or pipe hanger run?
A beam clamp grips the flange of a structural steel beam or bar joist and gives you a threaded attachment point overhead, with no drilling or welding into the structure. From the 1/4-20 tapping on the BC14SS you hang threaded rod, and from the rod you carry conduit hangers, strut, or single pipe rings. It is the standard way electricians pick up support from existing steel instead of the deck.
6) Should I use a 1/4-20 beam clamp or step up to 3/8 inch rod for my hanger?
1/4-20 like the BC14SS suits light single runs, small trade size EMT, low voltage tray, and short drops where one rod carries one raceway. Once you are ganging multiple conduits on strut, or running longer drops with real weight and sway, the trade moves to 3/8-16 rod and a matching beam clamp. Match the clamp tapping to the rod you have specified rather than adapting between the two.
7) Can I mix stainless beam clamps with galvanized threaded rod?
Mechanically it threads together, but on the BC14SS you chose stainless for a reason, and pairing it with plated or galvanized rod puts the corrosion back into the assembly at the rod. In a wet or corrosive location run stainless rod and stainless nuts with it so the whole hanger has the same service life.
