Metallics BC14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics BC14 beam clamp take?
The BC14 beam clamp is tapped 1/4-20, so it accepts 1/4-20 threaded rod or a 1/4-20 machine screw or bolt for hanging conduit, boxes, or fixture supports off a steel beam flange. If your rod run is 3/8-16, this is not the clamp for it.
2) Do I need anything else besides the Metallics BC14 to hang conduit?
The clamp only creates the anchor point. You supply the 1/4-20 threaded rod or bolt, and whatever holds the pipe at the bottom, a conduit hanger, strap, or trapeze. Order the rod and the conduit support with it so the hanger is complete on the first trip.
3) Is the BC14 the right beam clamp for 3/8 inch threaded rod?
No. The BC14 is a 1/4-20 clamp. Heavier trapeze hangers and larger conduit runs are normally carried on 3/8-16 rod, and that needs a clamp tapped 3/8-16. Use the BC14 where the load is light, single small conduits, boxes, and fixture drops.
4) Is the Metallics BC14 beam clamp zinc plated steel?
Steel with a zinc plating (the "St-zn" in the description). That finish is suited to dry indoor work such as conduit and fixture hanging inside a building. For wet, corrosive, or exterior exposure you would want a stainless or hot dip galvanized clamp instead.
5) How many beam clamps come in a bag of Metallics BC14?
They ship in a bag of 10, so one bag covers ten hanger points. Pack type is a bag, not a bulk carton, which makes it workable for a single fixture drop or small conduit run without buying a box of a hundred.
6) What is a beam clamp used for on an electrical job?
It grips the flange of a structural steel beam or bar joist and gives you a threaded attachment point, no drilling or welding. On the BC14 that point is 1/4-20, so you thread rod, a screw, or a hanger into it and support conduit, boxes, or a light fixture from the structure overhead.
