Fig 424 Forged Steel Turnbuckle
PPLICATION: Fig. 424, 424S, and 424L Forged Steel Turnbuckles are used to connect two threaded hanger rods and to provide for relational adjustment of the hanger rod ends to or from each other. Turnbuckles are tapped right hand thread on one end and left hand thread on the other end. Thus, when the turnbuckle is twisted clockwise about the rod centerlines, the two hanger rod ends are pulled closer together and when the turnbuckle is twisted counterclockwise, the rod ends are moved apart from each other.
CONSTRUCTION: Turnbuckles are made of Drop Forged Carbon Steel and are available for rod diameters of 3/8 inch, to 3 inches. The Fig. 424S provides for 3 inches of adjustment and is only available for rod diameters ½ inch through 1 inch. Fig. 424 provides for 6 inches of adjustment and Fig. 424L provides for 12 inches of adjustment.
FINISHES AVAILALE: Black, Hot Dip Galvanized, Electro-Plated or Painted.
