Worker installing overhead hanger assemblyThreaded rod and trapeze installation just got easier. The new Hilti KH-EZ IQ anchors combine the simplicity of a screw anchor with push-to-connect technology to support full prefabrication of MEP hanger assemblies and faster connection on the jobsite.

Instead of manually threading rods into anchors overhead, users can simply push prefabricated hanger assemblies into place. This streamlined approach can help:

  • Speed up installation: Eliminate manual rod threading to complete hanger connections faster
  • Reduce overhead work: Preassemble trapeze systems before installation to help limit worker fatigue and ladder time
  • Increase project flexibility: Install anchors when it best fits your project schedule
  • Simplify system design: Design with KH-EZ IQ in PROFIS Engineering to help value-engineer your systems

    FM approved and evaluated under ICC-ES ESR-3027, KH-EZ IQ is qualified for applications in cracked and uncracked concrete and lightweight concrete over metal deck.
