Metallics HAB17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics HAB17 hanger bolt?
The HAB17 is a 3/8-16 x 8 inch hanger bolt. One end is a 3/8-16 machine thread for rod couplings, nuts, or threaded-rod hangers; the other end is a lag point that drives into wood. Steel with a zinc finish.
2) Will a 3/8-16 hanger bolt accept standard 3/8 threaded rod couplings?
Yes. The machine-thread end of the HAB17 is 3/8-16, the same coarse thread as standard 3/8 all-thread rod, so a 3/8-16 rod coupling nut threads straight on and lets you drop rod to any length below a wood joist or beam.
3) Can I use the Metallics HAB17 hanger bolt in concrete or steel?
No. The lag-point end is a wood screw thread, so it only anchors in wood framing, joists, beams, or blocking. For concrete you need a drop-in anchor or wedge anchor with 3/8-16 internal thread, and for steel a beam clamp or threaded rod hanger.
4) How many hanger bolts come in a box of Metallics HAB17?
Fifty bolts per box. They ship boxed, so for a job hanging strut, trapeze, or conduit runs off wood framing you are buying in multiples of 50 rather than by the piece.
5) How do you install a hanger bolt with no head on either end?
There is no drive head on the HAB17. Run two 3/8-16 nuts onto the machine-thread end and jam them against each other, then turn the top nut with a wrench to drive the lag end into a pilot-drilled hole in the wood. Back the nuts off once it is seated. A hanger bolt driver socket does the same job faster on a volume run of 50.
6) Is 8 inches of length overkill for hanging conduit off a joist?
The 8 inch length on the HAB17 is meant for deep embedment or for passing through furring, sheathing, or built-up framing before reaching solid wood. If you are lagging directly into an exposed joist face, a shorter hanger bolt is easier to drive and leaves less stickout. Pick the 8 inch when you need the reach.
7) What is the zinc finish on these hanger bolts rated for, indoor or outdoor?
Zinc-plated steel. That is a dry interior finish, fine for hanging conduit, strut, or fixtures inside a building. In wet, exterior, or corrosive locations zinc plating will rust, so specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless instead.
8) What part number do I order for the Metallics 3/8-16 by 8 inch hanger bolt?
Order Metallics HAB17. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3/8-16 x 8 inch zinc-plated steel hanger bolt, sold 50 to a box.
