Simple Pitchfork

Single connection for box and branch: the crossbar carries the box on a spring steel clip.

Give us the size, drop and service and we’ll spec the part number and quote the build.

03 · Notes

From the Technical Data Sheet

  • Single connection for box and branch: the crossbar carries the box on a spring steel clip.
  • Enables airflow to eliminate bundling limitations. NEC 310.15(C)(1)(d).
  • Crossbar height 10 in. typical; fixed dimensions can be changed per order.
  • Rigid connection to structure eliminates the need to tie off to the ceiling grid below. NEC 300.11(A).
  • Finish: zinc plated.
  • Support spacing governed by the applicable local building code.
  • Dry locations only, per the listing.
  • Rated load carries a minimum 4:1 factor of safety on ultimate tested capacity per ICC-ES LC1041 and UL 2239.
  • The rated load applies to the support assembly only; the attachment to structure is evaluated separately (Section 01).
  • Seismic: per ASCE 7, power actuated fasteners are limited to 90 lbs of tension in Seismic Design Categories C (Ip = 1.5), D, E and F. The capacity published here is already at or below that limit, so it is unchanged on a seismic project.
  • Drawings not to scale.
