Metallics JEC55 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics JEC55 eye coupling take?
The JEC55 is threaded 3/8-16, so it mates with standard 3/8 inch all-thread rod and 3/8-16 bolts, hanger studs and anchors. If your rod is 1/4-20 or 1/2-13, this one will not thread on.
2) Can I use the Metallics JEC55 to join two pieces of 3/8 inch threaded rod together?
Not end to end like a straight rod coupling. Only one end of the JEC55 is threaded through; the other end is a closed eye. If you need to splice two lengths of 3/8-16 rod in line, order a straight threaded rod coupling instead. Use the JEC55 where you want a rod drop terminating in a hanging point.
3) How long is the Metallics JEC55 eye coupling body?
Two inches of threaded body, which is what gives you enough engagement to join two lengths of 3/8 inch rod or to run a rod well up into the coupling before it bottoms out on the eye.
4) Is the Metallics JEC55 eye coupling suitable for damp or unfinished areas?
It is steel with a zinc plating, which is a general-purpose indoor and dry-location finish. Zinc plate gives light corrosion resistance for interior mechanical and electrical rooms, ceilings and plenums, but it is not the choice for exterior, wash-down or corrosive environments; those call for a hot dip galvanized or stainless part.
5) How many Metallics JEC55 eye couplings come in a jar?
They ship 100 to a jar. That is the packaged quantity for the JEC55, so it is bought as a bulk fastener item rather than as a single piece, which suits an electrical contractor stocking a truck or a facility running repeated hanger work.
6) What is an eye coupling used for in an electrical install?
An eye coupling is a threaded coupling with a closed eye on one end: you thread 3/8-16 rod or a hanger stud into the body and use the eye as the attachment point for wire, aircraft cable, a hook or a chain. Typical use is hanging conduit runs, strut, cable trays, light fixtures and signage off a threaded rod drop.
