Metallics MBC38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What rod or hanger size does the Metallics MBC38 beam clamp take?
The MBC38 is tapped 3/8-16, so it accepts 3/8 inch threaded rod or a 3/8-16 bolt or hanger stud. If your run is hung on 1/4-20 or 1/2-13 rod, this is the wrong clamp size.
2) Can I hang conduit from structural steel with the MBC38 instead of drilling the beam?
That is what a beam clamp is for. The MBC38 grips the flange of the steel beam and gives you a 3/8-16 tapped hole to drop threaded rod from, so conduit, strut, or a hanger can be suspended with no drilling or welding on the structure. Order the rod, nuts, and whatever conduit hanger or clamp attaches at the bottom separately.
3) How many beam clamps come in a box of Metallics MBC38?
Ten clamps per box. It is sold as a boxed quantity, which is how most electrical and mechanical contractors buy them for a hanger run rather than one at a time.
4) What is the difference between a beam clamp and a conduit strap for overhead support?
A beam clamp like the MBC38 is the attachment at the structure: it clamps onto a steel beam flange and gives you a 3/8-16 thread to hang from. A conduit strap or clamp is the piece at the other end that actually holds the pipe. On an overhead run you normally need both, plus threaded rod between them. Use a beam clamp when you have exposed steel; use an anchor or insert instead when you are hanging off concrete deck.
