Available Configurations
DST Models
Standard vertical-mount Sammys anchors designed to provide a threaded rod connection point directly from structural steel.
DSTR Models
Retaining-nut configurations designed for applications requiring the corresponding DSTR anchor style.
Swivel-Head Models
Designed for applications where the anchor is installed into angled steel and the suspended threaded rod needs to remain plumb.
Threaded Rod Suspension
Sammys anchors combine the steel attachment fastener and threaded rod connection point into a single fastening solution.
This integrated design helps reduce the number of separate components required to establish a threaded rod suspension point from structural steel.
Once the correct anchor is installed, compatible threaded rod can be attached directly to the integral rod hanger fitting.

Construction Details
These Sammys rod hanger anchors are constructed from steel and are designed specifically for attachment to structural steel members.
Applicable models incorporate TEKS self-drilling fastener technology, allowing the anchor to drill and fasten into suitable steel material during installation.
The integral threaded rod connection creates a compact overhead support point without requiring a separate beam clamp or multi-piece rod hanger assembly.
Installation
Select the correct Sammys model based on the structural steel thickness, threaded rod size, mounting orientation, and required approval or listing.
Verify that the selected SKU is intended for vertical or bottom-mount installation into steel.
Use the appropriate Sammys nut driver specified for the selected anchor model.
Position the fastener at the required attachment location and install according to the manufacturer's installation procedure.
For self-drilling models, allow the fastener to drill and engage the steel without exceeding the manufacturer's installation requirements.
After the anchor is properly seated, install compatible threaded rod into the integral rod fitting.
For angled steel members where the threaded rod must remain vertical, select the appropriate swivel-head model rather than a fixed-head configuration.
Always verify the selected anchor's load rating, steel thickness range, rod size, installation method, and approval requirements before use.
Our team can help review your threaded rod size, steel mounting surface, vertical-mount configuration, and approval requirements before you order.
