Metallics RCT30G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics RCT30G rod coupling take?
The RCT30G is a 5/8-11 rod coupling, so it threads onto 5/8 inch diameter all-thread or hanger rod with 11 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC pitch for 5/8 inch rod. If your rod is 1/2-13 or 3/4-10, this coupling will not thread on.
2) Can I use the RCT30G to extend a run of 5/8 inch threaded rod for conduit or strut hangers?
Yes, that is what a hex rod coupling does. The RCT30G joins two lengths of 5/8-11 threaded rod end to end so you can extend a drop for trapeze hangers, strut, conduit racks or equipment support. Thread engagement matters: run rod in from both ends until it meets near the middle of the coupling, and check the coupling through-hole or witness hole if present so you can confirm engagement.
3) Is the Metallics RCT30G rod coupling hex or round bodied?
Hex bodied. The RCT30G is a hex rod coupling, which lets you hold it with a wrench while you spin rod in from either end, instead of relying on hand grip like a round coupling.
4) Is the RCT30G coupling galvanized, and can it be used in damp or outdoor locations?
The RCT30G is galvanized, which gives it more corrosion resistance than plain steel for damp interiors, parking structures and similar exposure. Galvanized nuts and couplings are the usual choice where plain finish would rust, though for continuous wet or corrosive service most specs call for stainless.
5) How many rod couplings come in a jar of Metallics RCT30G?
The RCT30G ships as a jar of 25 couplings, so one jar covers 25 rod splices or extensions. Plan quantities in multiples of 25.
6) Can a rod coupling like the RCT30G be used in place of a nut to anchor rod?
No. The RCT30G is a coupling, meant to splice two threaded rods together. It is not a hex nut and is not intended to bear against a fitting, channel nut or beam clamp as a fastener. For anchoring or clamping, use the proper hex nut or channel nut in 5/8-11.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the 5/8-11 galvanized hex rod coupling?
RCT30G is the Metallics part number for the 5/8-11 galvanized hex rod coupling, supplied 25 to a jar. That is the number to quote when ordering or matching what is already on the job.
