The system also includes a catch bar coupled to the threaded rod and moveable relative to the threaded rod between a first position wherein the catch bar permits the aperture to be positioned over the threaded rod, and a second position wherein the catch bar extends at least partially radially outwardly from the threaded rod to thereby retain the fixture on the threaded rod.
