Notes
1. Catalog numbers will be preceded by an “SSF” to signify it is a spring steel fastener
part and to give it a unique catalog number. Non-Spring Steel Fastening items in this
catalog are not preceded by SSF.
2. This portion of the catalog number is a one-letter index based on the category into
which the product falls. For this example, “H” is used for the Hangers category.
Categories and their one letter index are listed.
3. This portion of the catalog number references the style in a given category. For this
example, “A” is used for the rod and wire hanger with thread impressions.
Notes
1. As with the individual parts, riveted combinations will always be preceded by an “SSF”
to signify it as a spring steel fastener part.
2. This portion of the catalog number, as with the individual part, is a one letter index
based on the category of the product. For this example, “B” is used for the Beams and
Purlin category.
3. Riveted combinations of two parts will have a catalog number constructed from the two
individual catalog numbers. This portion of the catalog number references the style and
numeric size or range for the first piece of the combination (see #3 and #4 under the
Individual part numbering system). Note that the first part in the combination will have
the same category as the combination. In this example, V1/4 represents a vertical flange
or C-purlin clip with an individual catalog number of SSF-BV1/4.
4. This portion of the catalog number is numeric and will be based on the size or range of
sizes the part will fit. For example, the SSF-HA1/4T is a hanger that fits ¼" threaded
rod, so the numeric code would be 1/4.
5. A final letter may be, but will not always be, included after the numeric code. This final
letter indicates one of the listed features.
4. This portion of the catalog number references the style and numeric size or range for
the second piece of the combination (see #3 and #4 under the Individual Part
Numbering System). In this example, the A3/8 represents the rod hanger with an
individual catalog number of SSF-HA3/8.
