Metallics HAB13PLB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 3/8 hanger bolt accept standard 3/8 threaded rod couplings?
Yes. The machine-thread end of the HAB13PLB is 3/8 inch, which mates with the 3/8-16 coupling nuts, rod couplings and strut nuts used on all-thread hanging systems. Thread it into the wood member, then run your coupling onto the exposed stud and continue the drop with 3/8 rod.
2) Can I use the HAB13PLB in concrete or steel deck?
No. A hanger bolt's pointed end is a wood screw thread, so it anchors into wood joists, blocking or timber only. For concrete you need a drop-in or wedge anchor with a 3/8 internal thread; for steel, a beam clamp or a threaded rod hanger.
3) What is a hanger bolt used for on an electrical job?
A hanger bolt has a wood screw thread on one end and a machine thread on the other, so it screws into wood structure and leaves a threaded stud exposed for hanging. On electrical work the 3/8 inch machine end takes standard 3/8-16 rod couplings, strut nuts, beam clamps and hanging hardware for conduit runs, cable tray, light fixtures and boxes. The HAB13PLB gives 4 inches of total length to work with.
4) Is the Metallics HAB13PLB suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
It is plated steel, which is a dry interior finish. For exterior, damp or corrosive locations use a galvanized or stainless hanger bolt instead.
5) Do I need to pre-drill for a 3/8 x 4 hanger bolt?
Yes, in most framing lumber. Drill a pilot hole for the wood-thread end, then drive the bolt by locking two nuts against each other on the 3/8 machine end or using a hanger bolt driver, since there is no head to grip. With a 4 inch overall length you can set most of the wood thread in the member and still leave a usable stud.
6) Is the Metallics HAB13PLB sold individually or only by the box?
It comes as a 250 piece box under part number HAB13PLB. That quantity suits contractors and MRO stockrooms buying hanging hardware for a full conduit or fixture run rather than a one-off repair.
