Overview

The ABB RC 3/8 Clamp (SKU: RC 3/8) is a precision-engineered malleable iron beam clamp designed for secure, parallel mounting of 3/8-inch conduit or pipe to structural beams in industrial, commercial, and HVAC applications. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this clamp features a nominal outer diameter of 0.675 inches to accommodate standard 3/8-inch conduit sizes, ensuring a precise fit and eliminating movement or vibration during operation. Constructed from durable malleable iron, the RC 3/8 delivers robust load-bearing capacity while resisting corrosion in demanding environments. The clamp includes encapsulated, hex-shaped nuts compatible with standard wrenches, simplifying installation and reducing tool requirements. With a nominal PVC coating of 0.015 inches (15 mil) for enhanced corrosion protection, this clamp is ideal for use in exposed or high-moisture areas where long-term reliability is critical. Typical applications include electrical wiring systems, mechanical piping, and HVAC ductwork where conduit or pipe must be mounted parallel to beams or structural supports. The RC 3/8 clamp is part of ABB’s comprehensive beam clamp portfolio, designed to streamline installation processes and enhance structural integrity in both new construction and retrofit projects. Compatible with beams up to 5/8 inches in flange thickness, this clamp supports efficient cable and pipe management while maintaining compliance with industry standards for load ratings and safety factors. Trust ABB’s legacy of engineering excellence to deliver a dependable mounting solution that meets the demands of modern infrastructure projects.
