VOH14 Spring Steel C-Purlin Clip for Vertical Flanges, 100 Pack

The VOH14 purlin clip provides a non-drilling suspension point on vertical C-purlin flanges where installers need to establish a reliable overhead drop without cutting into structural steel. Hook and Hanger supplies this spring-steel component for commercial ceilings, low-voltage routing, utility support, and other cable management work that depends on controlled attachment locations.

When flange-mounted support points are slow to establish, crews can lose time to ladder moves, drilling steps, and cleanup around overhead steel. We stock the VOH14 purlin clip for installations where a spring-steel grip can attach directly to a compatible vertical flange and place a mounting hole at the required drop location. The result is a practical anchoring point for wire, cable, chain, or a small fastener, subject to the installed system’s design requirements. It also gives crews a clear point for labeling, inspection, and future changes to the supported pathway.

What Is the VOH14 C Purlin Clip Used For?

The VOH14 purlin clip is an overhead attachment component that clamps onto a vertical flange measuring from 1/8 inch through 1/4 inch thick. Its spring-steel body applies clamping force around the flange rather than relying on a drilled hole, welded tab, or threaded insert. This configuration is useful where the purlin is already in place and the installation team needs a repeatable point for a downward support connection.

The integrated mounting hole accepts jack chain, ceiling wire, aircraft cable, or a 1/4-inch fastener. That flexibility allows the same flange attachment method to support different suspension approaches across a project. For example, an installer may use wire for a suspended ceiling layout, aircraft cable for a controlled utility drop, or a fastener connection where an approved accessory requires a 1/4-inch attachment point.

The VOH14 purlin clip helps bypass routine drilling into compatible C-purlin flanges. It does not replace jobsite verification. Before installation, confirm flange thickness, member orientation, load path, spacing, and the requirements of the supported system. Where drawings call for a different support method, compare the application with other purlin clips, beam clamps, or approved engineered attachment hardware rather than forcing a clip into an unsuitable location.

Compatible Installation Tooling and System Integration for the VOH14 Purlin Clip

• Ground-level attachment: Use Doc's® HOIT-AL, HOIT-S, or PurlinMaster® pole tools to hold and place the VOH14 purlin clip onto an accessible vertical flange from below, reducing repeated ladder repositioning where site conditions permit.

• Pole access: Match the selected tool with compatible extension poles and follow the tool manufacturer’s operating guidance for reach, control, and worker clearance.

• Cable pathways: Pair the mounting hole with approved wire, aircraft cable, jack chain, or j-hooks when routing support is required for listed communication, security, or low-voltage pathways.

• Alternate fastening context: Coordinate with eye lag screws, angle clips, and threaded rod fasteners only where the project calls for those separate support methods and the substrate is appropriate.

• Drilling work: Use the clip where a compatible flange connection is specified; reserve overhead drilling and anchoring methods for locations that require drilled or anchored attachment hardware.

Benefits of VOH14 for Contractors and Ceiling Installation Crews

The primary field benefit of the VOH14 purlin clip is speed at the attachment stage. A crew can establish a vertical-flange connection without preparing a hole in the C-purlin, collecting metal shavings, or changing from installation tools to drilling equipment. That can simplify workflow in ceiling grids, utility corridors, warehouse interiors, retail fit-outs, and other areas with repeated overhead support points.

The clip also gives installers one mounting-hole format for several hanging methods. A ceiling crew may connect wire for grid support, while another trade may use a compatible cable or chain drop in a separate section of the same building. When cable-support layouts change, the mounting hole can work with appropriately selected j-hooks instead of requiring a new flange attachment method. For framing transitions, angle clips may be used elsewhere in the assembly where the drawings require a different geometry.
