Minerallac Sammys GST 20 Threaded Rod Anchor for Wood, Vertical Mounting

Minerallac Sammys GST 20 Threaded Rod Anchor for Wood, Vertical Mounting

The Minerallac Sammys GST 20 is a threaded rod anchor system engineered for vertical mounting into wood structural members, giving electricians and mechanical contractors a fast, code-friendly way to hang conduit, cable tray, pipe, and other support runs from wood joists and beams. This anchor is available in anchor sizes of 2" and 2-1/2", and is built from steel with an electro-zinc finish for corrosion resistance on the job site. Each anchor is designed to accept a 3/8" threaded rod, allowing a suspended support point to be driven directly into wood without pre-drilling a full-depth hole or installing a separate hanger bracket. The anchor features a 5/8" AF end-drilled head type for straightforward driving with common power tools, letting installers set the anchor and thread the rod in a single continuous motion, which speeds up overhead support work in commercial and industrial ceilings, mechanical rooms, and other wood-frame construction environments.
