A structural fastener for attaching a threaded rod to a structural component, the structural fastener comprising:
- a structure coupler configured to couple to the structural component;
- and
- a threaded rod coupler connected to the structure coupler, the threaded rod coupler configured to couple to the threaded rod, wherein the threaded rod coupler includes a split nut configurable between i) an open position to allow the threaded rod to slide axially through the split nut, and ii) a closed position to threadably engage the threaded rod.
A structural fastener for attaching a threaded rod to a beam, the structural fastener comprising:
- a beam clamp configured to couple to the beam;
- and
- a threaded rod coupler connected to the beam clamp, the threaded rod coupler configured to couple to the threaded rod, wherein the threaded rod coupler includes a split nut configurable between i) an open position to allow the threaded rod to slide axially through the split, and ii) a closed position to threadably engage the threaded rod.
A method of attaching a threaded rod to a structural component using a structural fastener, the method comprising:
- coupling a structural fastener to the structural component;
- and
- sliding the threaded rod through a split nut of the structural component couple the rod to the structural fastener.
