Thomas & Betts Kindorf FBC1 Structural Beam Clamp for 1/4"-20 Threaded Rod

The Thomas & Betts Kindorf FBC1 Beam Clamp is a structural support fitting engineered to secure electrical conduit, cable tray, pipe, or hanger rod directly to the flange of an I-beam or other structural steel beam. Sized to accept 1/4"-20 threaded rod, the FBC1 clamps firmly onto the beam flange without drilling or welding, giving electricians and mechanical contractors a fast, code-friendly attachment point for suspended conduit runs, cable tray sections, and overhead support systems. As part of the Kindorf line of structural support hardware from Thomas & Betts, the FBC1 beam clamp is built to meet the demands of commercial and industrial job sites where reliable, adjustable overhead support is required for electrical infrastructure.

Key Features

  • Rod Size: Accepts 1/4"-20 threaded rod, matching the standard hanger rod size used throughout commercial electrical and mechanical support systems.
  • Beam Clamp Design: Clamps directly onto the flange of a structural steel beam, eliminating the time and labor of drilling or welding a dedicated support point.
  • Kindorf Series: Manufactured as part of the Kindorf family of structural support and hanger hardware, a Thomas & Betts brand trusted throughout the electrical trade.
  • Model FBC1 Configuration: A dedicated beam clamp design intended for standard I-beam flange profiles found on commercial and industrial steel framing.
  • No-Weld, No-Drill Installation: The mechanical clamp connection speeds installation of conduit, cable tray, and pipe hangers compared to field-drilled beam clips.
  • Compatible Hardware: Designed to pair with standard 1/4"-20 threaded rod, nuts, and washers already stocked on most electrical jobs.

Kindorf FBC1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I hang conduit from a steel I-beam without drilling or welding?
That is exactly what the Kindorf FBC1 does. It clamps mechanically onto the flange of an I-beam or other structural steel beam, so you get a 1/4"-20 rod attachment point with no field drilling and no welding, and no loss of beam integrity. Typical uses are suspended conduit runs, cable tray and raceway support, and threaded rod hanger assemblies.
2) What is the closest equivalent to the Kindorf FBC1 beam clamp for 1/4-20 threaded rod?
The Appleton IS-500 is the nearest match. It is a malleable iron beam clamp with a screw-type hexagonal head and a 1/4-20 tapped hole, so it accepts the same 1/4-20 threaded rod the Kindorf FBC1 is sized for. The FBC1 is cast steel, while the IS-500 is malleable iron, so if a job has standardized on one material for overhead supports, that is the detail to check before swapping.
3) How many beam clamps come in a pack of the Kindorf FBC1?
The FBC1 is supplied 100 clamps to the pack, which suits a rough-in where you are setting a long run of conduit or tray on consistent beam spacing rather than buying ones and twos.
4) What other 1/4-20 beam clamps could I use instead of the Kindorf FBC1?
The Appleton IS-500 is the closest alternative we carry, a malleable iron beam clamp with a screw-type hexagonal head and the same 1/4-20 tapped rod hole. The Kindorf FBC1 body is cast steel rather than malleable iron, so if a submittal calls out a material, that is the difference to check.
5) I need to clamp to a 2-inch flange, is the FBC1 the right beam clamp?
If your spec is written around flange size, look at the Steel City RC-2SC instead, a 2-inch galvanized malleable iron beam clamp we also stock. The Kindorf FBC1 is specified by rod size (1/4"-20) for standard I-beam flange profiles, so where a job calls out a nominal flange dimension the RC-2SC is the one written that way. Galvanized also matters if the location is damp or exterior.
6) Is the galvanized Steel City RC-2SC a drop-in replacement for the Kindorf FBC1?
Not interchangeably. Both are Thomas & Betts beam clamps, but the RC-2SC is the Steel City series in 2-inch galvanized malleable iron, while the FBC1 is the Kindorf series in cast steel and is specifically tapped for 1/4-20 threaded rod. If the hanger assembly is already built on 1/4-20 rod, confirm the rod thread on the RC-2SC before treating it as a substitute.
7) For an exposed or damp overhead run, should I use the FBC1 or something else?
The Thomas & Betts RC-2SC is galvanized malleable iron, which is the finish contractors typically reach for on runs exposed to moisture. The Kindorf FBC1 is cast steel and carries UL E160899. Match the clamp material to the rest of the support hardware on the run so you are not mixing coatings on the same assembly.
8) I only need a handful of beam clamps, not 100 - what are my options?
The Kindorf FBC1 is supplied in a pack of 100, which suits a full conduit or cable tray rough-in. For a small count on the same 1/4-20 rod, the Appleton IS-500 is the comparable screw-type malleable iron beam clamp with a 1/4-20 tapped hole and can be specified instead where a case quantity is more than the job needs.
