Metallics RCT28SS316 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics RCT28SS316 rod coupling take?
The RCT28SS316 coupling is tapped 3/8-16, so it joins standard 3/8 inch threaded rod with 16 threads per inch (UNC). If your hanger rod is 1/2-13 or 1/4-20, this is the wrong coupling for it.
2) Is this rod coupling stainless steel or plated steel?
Stainless, not zinc plated carbon steel. That matters where hangers run in wet, washdown, coastal, or corrosive areas, parking structures, pools, and food processing spaces, where a plated steel coupling would rust at the threads.
3) What is a hex rod coupling used for on an electrical hanger job?
A hex rod coupling splices two lengths of threaded rod end to end, so you can extend a drop from the deck without buying full length rod, or repair a rod cut short. The hex body lets you hold it with a wrench while you run the rod in, and it gives you a visual check that the rod is threaded in far enough on both ends. The RCT28SS316 does this for 3/8-16 rod.
4) How many rod couplings come in a jar of the Metallics RCT28SS316?
Each jar holds 50 couplings, packed in a jar rather than a loose box, which keeps them from scattering in a gang box or on a cart. Figure one coupling per rod splice when you estimate quantity for a run of trapeze or conduit hangers.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/8-16 stainless hex rod coupling?
Order it as Metallics RCT28SS316. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3/8-16 stainless hex rod coupling supplied in jars of 50.
