Metallics RCT26G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics RCT26G rod coupling take?
The RCT26G coupling is threaded 1/4-20, so it joins two pieces of 1/4-20 threaded rod or hanger rod. If your rod is 3/8-16 or 1/2-13, this is the wrong size coupling.
2) Is the Metallics RCT26G rod coupling hex or round?
Hex body, galvanized finish. The hex lets you hold or drive the coupling with a wrench while you run rod into it, which matters when you are coupling overhead hanger rod on a trapeze or conduit support.
3) How does the RCT26G coupling ship, loose or in a container?
It comes in a jar of 50 pieces, which is how Metallics packages this coupling for job carts and MRO stockrooms rather than as single loose nuts.
4) Can I use a 1/4-20 galvanized rod coupling outdoors or in a damp location?
The galvanized coating on the RCT26G gives it corrosion resistance suited to damp interior and sheltered exterior hanger work. For continuously wet, washdown, or corrosive chemical environments, specify a stainless rod coupling instead.
5) What is a rod coupling used for on an electrical hanger install?
A rod coupling is an internally threaded hex sleeve that splices two lengths of threaded rod end to end, so you can extend a drop from the deck down to a trapeze, strut, or conduit hanger without buying a single long rod. The RCT26G does that job on 1/4-20 rod. Thread both rod ends in to full engagement so the splice carries the load.
6) Will a 1/4-20 coupling thread onto a 1/4-20 eye bolt or threaded stud?
Yes, any male 1/4-20 thread will run into it, including 1/4-20 studs, eye bolts, and all-thread. Thread pitch and diameter are the only fit criteria on the RCT26G.
