The B Beam Clamp dead-ends strand runs to I-beams in structural and communications applications without permanent beam alterations. It anchors strands in communication line installations and creates fast connections between steel beams with parallel flanges, handling moderate tensile loads in construction, telecommunications, and infrastructure projects.
The clamp features an adjustable mechanism with a set screw for positioning on the beam flange, eliminating drilling or welding requirements. Its flat top allows the bolt head or nut to rotate on a hardened washer. Independently evaluated for fatigue resistance and approved for dynamic load applications, the high-strength design reduces on-site hazards by avoiding hot work permits. A skirt on the underside prevents rotation during installation.
Constructed from malleable iron or steel with hot dip galvanized finish per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A153, the clamp provides corrosion protection and durability. Attachment holes accommodate 5/8-inch or 11/16-inch bolts, and the clamp handles beam flanges across various thicknesses. Certain configurations support tensile loads up to 17,720 pounds. Adjustable tail lengths (short, medium, long) and packing pieces extend the clamping range for specific flange thicknesses.
The B Beam Clamp complies with ASTM A153 for galvanization, Telcordia GR-3174-CORE for communications hardware, and EN 1993-1-9 for dynamic loads. Installation involves positioning with the clamping screw and tightening—no drilling or welding needed. Product datasheets recommend using location plates or end plates when securing opposing clamps.
