Sammy Xpress

All-thread Rod Anchoring Systems

Direct vertical attachment in Metal Deck and Purlin for 1/4" and 3/8" rod.

ITW Buildex is pleased to introduce an innovative addition to the Sammy product line, which will revolutionize the pipe hanging trades. The Sammy X-Press® System is designed to provide direct attachment of threaded rod in metal deck (22-16 gauge) and thin gauge purlin (18-16 gauge), while providing reduced installation costs in terms of time and materials. The X-Press Anchors eliminate the need for costly “armovers” in pipe hanging installations. Current methods offered for thin gauge purlin require use of a time-consuming retaining nut on the threaded portion of the fastener to prevent pullout and are not designed for use in metal deck. In many instances, access to the backside of the installed fastener is prohibited by panel liner or roofing insulation. Sammy X-Press® anchors deliver the performance installers require without the use of a retaining nut!

The patent-pending X-Press Anchors consist of a threaded fastener and expandable sleeve. The X-Press System features an easy-to-install anchor with expanding anchoring strips that collapse to prevent pullout after installation. The Sammy X-Press® It Installation Tool assures a perfect installation every time offering the added convenience of one-tool efficiency – just drill and drive in seconds! SECONDS!
