Metallics RCT27 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a rod coupling to splice two pieces of threaded rod for a longer hanger drop?
That is exactly what the RCT27 is for. Thread one length of 5/16-18 rod into each end to extend a drop instead of ordering a single long rod. Run the rod in far enough on both ends that the joint is fully engaged through the coupling, since the splice carries the full hanger load.
2) How many rod couplings come in a jar of Metallics RCT27?
Fifty couplings per jar. It is sold as a jar pack, which is the usual way an electrical contractor buys hanger hardware for a run of conduit or strut drops.
3) Is the Metallics RCT27 rod coupling hex or round body?
Hex body. The flats let you hold or drive the coupling with a wrench while you spin rod into it, which is what you want overhead when you are extending a drop and cannot grip a round sleeve.
4) Is the RCT27 coupling plated for corrosion resistance?
It is steel with a zinc plating. That suits dry interior work, mechanical rooms, and normal commercial ceiling spaces. For wet, chemical, or exterior exposure, specify a stainless coupling instead rather than zinc-plated steel.
5) What is the Metallics part number for a 5/16-18 hex rod coupling?
RCT27 is the Metallics part number. Quote it as Metallics RCT27 when ordering, since the thread size alone does not distinguish it from couplings in other diameters.
