Metallics HAB15B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I hang 3/8 threaded rod from wood joists with the HAB15B hanger bolt?
That is what it is for. The screw end bites into the wood joist or beam and the exposed 3/8-16 machine thread accepts a 3/8-16 rod coupling or nut, so you can drop 3/8 all-thread for conduit hangers, strut trapezes, or pipe rings. At 4-1/2 inches overall you get a deep bite in the wood with thread left standing proud for the coupling.
2) How many hanger bolts come in a box of Metallics HAB15B?
They ship 250 to a box, so it is a bulk quantity rather than a small contractor pack. Sold as a box, which suits crews hanging a long run of trapeze or rod-supported conduit, strut, or pipe where the bolts get consumed fast.
3) Is the HAB15B suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
It is zinc plated steel, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry interior work. For exterior, wash-down, or coastal jobs, spec a stainless or hot dip galvanized hanger bolt instead; zinc plating will surface rust in constant moisture.
4) How do you drive a hanger bolt like the Metallics HAB15B if it has no head?
There is no head to turn, so you thread two 3/8-16 nuts onto the machine end, jam them against each other, and drive the bolt with a wrench or socket on the outer nut. Then back the nuts off. A hanger bolt driver bit for 3/8 works the same way. Pre-drill the wood so the screw thread does not split the joist.
5) Is the HAB15B a lag screw or a machine bolt?
Neither, exactly. A hanger bolt is both in one fastener: wood screw thread on one end, 3/8-16 machine thread on the other. Use a lag screw when you are clamping a bracket flat to wood with a hex head. Use the HAB15B when you need a permanent 3/8-16 stud projecting out of wood to hang something from.
6) What else do I need to order with Metallics HAB15B hanger bolts?
The box contains the bolts only. Plan on 3/8-16 hex nuts and washers, and a 3/8-16 rod coupling if you are extending into all-thread. A pilot bit sized for the wood screw end is worth having on the cart too, since the bolts go in faster and straighter pre-drilled.
