nVent CADDY Rod Lock Spring Steel Rod Hangers
Threaded rod is one of the most commonly used products by contractors of all trades, with a variety of threaded connections being used to support electrical and mechanical systems. While threaded rod is one of the most prevalent products used by contractors, it can be very difficult and tedious to work with.
In evaluating construction and contractor practices, the trend toward making large electrical and mechanical assemblies off-site using standardized operations and processes is undeniable. However, nVent CADDY recognized that the ability of contractors to use pre-assembly for many high-volume applications is severely limited by how standard threaded connections are made. Therefore, the primary objective of the Rod Lock system, which includes a beam clamp, channel nut and anchor screw, is to eliminate the need for contractors to rotate the threaded rod. nVent CADDY recommends Rod Lock channel nuts for use in any building project. This unique product would allow contractors to prefabricate their complex assemblies and then easily lift and lock them into place at the jobsite by pushing the threaded rod supports into the channel nuts. nVent CADDY’s ingenious technology even works with threaded rod with minor burrs or imperfections, helping to eliminate clean-up time or the need to replace damaged threaded rod.
