We're excited to announce a major update for contractors, engineers, and inspectors across the industry—Allfasteners' 1AFR38 Rod Hangers are now FM Approved.
This long-anticipated certification means that the 1AFR38 Rod Hanger now meets the rigorous standards set by FM Global, one of the most trusted names in property loss prevention and risk management.
FM Approval is more than just a label—it’s a mark of quality and safety. To earn FM Approval, products must pass extensive testing that proves they can perform reliably under demanding conditions, particularly in life-safety systems like:
Fire sprinkler installations
Mechanical and HVAC support
Overhead piping systems in commercial and industrial environments
With this approval, Allfasteners' 1AFR38 is now recognized as compliant with industry codes and requirements enforced by authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) across the U.S. and globally.
Code Compliance: Using FM-approved hangers simplifies inspections and ensures you're aligned with NFPA and local fire codes.
Peace of Mind: Contractors and project managers can trust that this product has been independently verified for safety and performance.
Broader Usage: FM approval opens the door for use in high-risk environments where only listed components are accepted.
Design: For 3/8” threaded rod
Material: Zinc-plated steel
Application: Designed to be driven into concrete for quick, reliable support of rod-hung systems
Now FM Approved: Suitable for fire protection systems and other safety-critical installations
With FM Approval now officially part of the 1AFR38 Rod Hanger’s credentials, Allfasteners continues to expand its lineup of high-quality, code-compliant products for the construction and MEP industries.
Whether you're installing fire sprinklers, HVAC ducting, or pipe supports, you can now choose the 1AFR38 with total confidence.
