Metallics RCT30SS316 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the RCT30SS316 rod coupling stainless steel, and can it be used outdoors or in a wet area?
Stainless steel construction, which is why it gets specified where plated or zinc couplings would rust out, outdoor hanger runs, parking structures, mechanical rooms, wash-down areas, and coastal jobs. Pair it with stainless rod and stainless nuts so you aren't mixing dissimilar metals in the same joint.
2) Will the RCT30SS316 fit 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch threaded rod?
No. This one is 5/8-11 only, and thread diameter has to match exactly, a 1/2-13 or 3/4-10 rod will not thread into it. Order the coupling in the same size as the rod you're hanging.
3) Is the Metallics RCT30SS316 coupling hex or round?
Hex body. That matters on install, because you can hold the coupling with a wrench while you spin rod into it, which a round coupling won't let you do cleanly when you're working overhead on a hanger line.
4) How does the Metallics 5/8-11 rod coupling ship, and how many do I get?
It comes 50 pieces to a jar. The jar pack is the usual way an electrical or mechanical contractor buys these, since you're normally consuming them a handful at a time across a hanger run rather than one-off.
5) Can I use a rod coupling instead of buying a longer piece of threaded rod?
Yes, that's the point of it. A coupling lets you splice two shorter pieces of 5/8 inch all-thread into one longer drop, so you can carry standard stock lengths and cut on site instead of ordering long rod. Run the rod in far enough that it engages the full depth from each end, so the joint isn't carrying load on a few threads.
6) What is the exact Metallics part number for the 5/8-11 stainless hex rod coupling?
Metallics part number RCT30SS316. That's the identifier to quote for the stainless 5/8-11 hex coupling supplied 50 to a jar.
