Beam Clamps

About

Shop beam clamps for attaching threaded rod, pipe hangers, and support hardware to structural steel beams. Beam clamps are commonly used in mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and industrial piping installations where a hanger assembly needs to be secured to a beam without drilling, welding, or modifying the structure. PipingNow offers Empire Industries beam clamps in small mouth and wide mouth styles for 3/8 in and 1/2 in threaded rod. Available options include plain finish, electro-galvanized, 304 stainless steel, and 316 stainless steel beam clamps. What Are Beam Clamps Used For? Beam clamps provide a connection point between a structural beam and a pipe hanger assembly. Instead of fastening directly through the beam, the clamp grips the beam flange and allows threaded rod or other support hardware to be attached below it. This makes beam clamps useful for suspending pipe, conduit, tubing, equipment supports, and other overhead hanger systems. Because beam clamps are installed directly onto the beam flange, they are often used when drilling is not allowed, when field welding is not practical, or when an adjustable support point is needed during installation. Small Mouth vs. Wide Mouth Beam Clamps This collection includes both small mouth beam clamps and wide mouth beam clamps. Small mouth beam clamps are used for standard beam flange applications where the flange thickness fits within the clamp opening. Wide mouth beam clamps provide a larger opening for beam flanges that require additional clearance. When selecting a beam clamp, confirm the beam flange thickness, threaded rod size, material or finish requirement, and the support load requirements for the application. Matching the clamp style to the beam and hanger assembly helps ensure a cleaner and more secure installation. Beam Clamp Materials and Finishes Beam clamps are available in several material and finish options depending on the environment and project requirements. Plain finish beam clamps are comm
