Versatile Beam Adapter

Product Description

The Universal Beam Adapter is a versatile solution for connecting pipes, conduits, or mechanical systems to structural beams, offering unmatched flexibility in industrial and commercial installations. Constructed from malleable cast iron with a nickel-plated finish, the adapter features a dual-mounting design that combines a beam clamp and a pipe saddle in a single unit. The beam clamp side includes adjustable jaw plates that fit I-beams, H-beams, and channel beams with flange widths from 3" to 8", while the pipe saddle accommodates nominal pipe sizes from 1" to 6". The precision-threaded adjustment screws allow 15° angular alignment and 2" vertical height adjustment, eliminating the need for custom fabrication.

Features

Multi-Surface Adaptability: Fits both hot-rolled and cold-formed steel beams, with anti-slip serrations on the jaw plates that provide a coefficient of friction 30% higher than standard clamps.

Load Distribution Technology: The triangular reinforcement ribs on the pipe saddle distribute loads evenly, rated for vertical loads up to 3,000 lbs and lateral loads up to 1,500 lbs.

Corrosion Protection: The nickel-plated finish (ASTM B607 compliant) offers superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion, while the nylon washers prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.

Modular Design: Optional extension arms (available in 4", 6", and 8" lengths) allow offset mounting for complex pipe layouts, reducing the need for welded connections.

Application

Ideal for structural connections in diverse industries:

Commercial Construction: Connects HVAC ductwork and sprinkler pipes to steel beams in office buildings and retail centers.

Industrial Machinery: Supports conveyor belts and robotic arms by attaching to overhead crane beams in manufacturing plants.

Renovation Projects: Retrofits pipe systems in historic buildings with non-destructive beam mounting, avoiding drilling into load-bearing structures.

Solar & Wind Farms: Secures cable trays and fluid lines to structural supports in renewable energy installations.

FAQ

Q: Can this adapter be used with wooden beams?

A: Yes, when used with pressure-treated lumber, provided the jaw plates are fitted with protective rubber pads to prevent wood damage.

Q: What is the torque specification for the mounting screws?

A: Tighten to 40-60 ft-lbs (54-81 N·m) using a torque wrench to ensure proper beam grip without over-tightening.

Q: Does it require welding for permanent installation?

A: No, the mechanical clamping design provides a secure connection without welding, making it suitable for temporary or removable setups.

Q: Can multiple adapters be used on a single beam?

A: Yes, adapters can be spaced as close as 6" (150mm) apart, provided the beam's load capacity is not exceeded—consult the structural engineer for specific projects.

Hanger Installation Instruction

Pipe Clamp(1,2) Universal C-type Clamp(3,4,5,6)

1. Fix the clamp to a proper level	2. T ighten  the   nuts  with the   right  torque   (torque specifications as following blank)	3. Install the C-type Clamp properly on H steel or other fixed hanging beam
4. Adjust  the  bolt  to  the required torque value then fasten the lock nut.	5. Use the nut lock the bolt	6. Insert the threaded rod.The rod must reach the bottom of the clamp.
