Metallics TRS5/3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics TRS5/3 threaded rod?
The TRS5/3 is a 10-24 threaded rod cut to 3 feet. The 10-24 size is a #10 diameter with 24 threads per inch, so it mates with standard 10-24 nuts, couplings, and threaded inserts.
2) Is the Metallics TRS5/3 rod zinc plated or stainless?
It's steel with a zinc plating (the "St-zn" in the description). Zinc plated steel is for dry interior work, electrical and mechanical hanging inside a building. For damp, exterior, or corrosive locations you want stainless or hot dip galvanized rod instead, not this one.
3) Does the Metallics TRS5/3 come with nuts and washers?
No. The TRS5/3 is rod only, 10-24 x 3 feet. Order your 10-24 hex nuts, washers, couplings, and any strut or beam clamps separately to finish the hang.
4) Is the Metallics TRS5/3 sold as a single rod or a bundle?
It is packed as a bundle rather than a loose single stick, so expect multiple 3 foot 10-24 rods per pack. Figure your quantity by total footage of drops, not by piece count.
5) Is 10-24 threaded rod heavy enough for hanging electrical boxes and small fixtures?
The #10 size is the light end of the hanger rod range, suited to small loads: fixture support, light channel, small boxes, low voltage and communication hardware. For hanging pipe, larger luminaires, or trapeze supports, step up to 1/4-20, 3/8-16, or 1/2-13 rod instead and follow the load table for the hanger you're using.
6) Can I cut the 3 foot Metallics 10-24 threaded rod down to length on site?
Yes. A continuously threaded zinc plated steel rod is meant to be cut to the drop you need, and the 3 foot length gives you several short hanger drops per piece. Deburr or chase the cut end with a 10-24 nut so the nut will still run on.
7) What is the exact part number to order the Metallics 10-24 x 3 foot zinc rod?
Order Metallics TRS5/3. That single part number covers the 10-24 x 3 foot zinc plated steel rod; there are no finish or length variations under it.
