Metallics BC38C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size threaded rod does the Metallics BC38C beam clamp take?
The BC38C is tapped 3/8-16, so it accepts standard 3/8 inch threaded rod with 16 threads per inch. That is the common rod size for hanging conduit, strut, and light fixture supports off structural steel. If your rod is 1/4-20 or 1/2-13, this clamp will not thread onto it.
2) How do Metallics BC38C beam clamps attach conduit to a steel beam?
The BC38C clamps onto the flange of a steel beam and gives you a 3/8-16 tapped hole to hang from. You run threaded rod down from the clamp to whatever support you need, a conduit hanger, strut channel, or a fixture. Nothing is drilled or welded into the structure, so the beam stays intact and the hanger can be repositioned later.
3) Are the Metallics BC38C beam clamps zinc plated or stainless?
Steel with a zinc plating, which is the standard finish for dry indoor structural work. It is a plated carbon steel part, not stainless, so for wet, coastal, or corrosive environments you want a stainless or hot dip galvanized clamp instead.
4) How many beam clamps come in a bag of Metallics BC38C?
One hundred clamps per bag. It is sold as a bagged bulk pack, so it is priced and shipped as a full 100 piece quantity rather than individually. For a rough-in with dozens of rod drops that is usually the right buy; for a handful of hangers on a service call it is more clamps than you will use.
5) Can I use Metallics BC38C beam clamps to hang light fixtures and strut, not just conduit?
Yes. The 3/8-16 tap is the same size used for fixture hangers, strut channel drops, and trapeze assemblies, so any accessory that threads onto 3/8 inch rod can hang from this clamp. What it supports is decided by the rod and the hanger you pair it with, not by the conduit itself.
6) What is the Metallics part number for a 3/8-16 zinc plated beam clamp?
BC38C is the Metallics part number for the 3/8-16 steel zinc plated beam clamp, supplied 100 per bag. That is the number to quote or reorder against.
