Metallics TRS9/6HDG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this 1/2-13 rod galvanized for damp or outdoor use?
The HDG in the TRS9/6HDG part number is hot-dip galvanized, which is the heavier zinc coating used for exterior, damp, and unconditioned spaces such as parking structures and exterior canopies. Note that hot-dip threads are thicker than plain rod, so pair it with galvanized nuts sized for HDG rod rather than plain-finish hardware.
2) Can I cut this 6 foot threaded rod down to the hanger drops I need?
Yes. Because it's threaded the full 6 foot length, you can cut it to any drop length and still have usable thread on both pieces, which is why electricians and mechanical contractors buy full-thread rod for strut, trapeze, and conduit hanger drops. On hot-dip rod, clean up the cut end with a 1/2-13 die and touch up the bare steel with cold galvanizing compound if it is in a wet or exterior location.
3) Will 1/2-13 rod work with my strut channel nuts and beam clamps?
Yes, 1/2 inch rod is one of the standard hanger sizes, so it threads into 1/2 inch channel nuts, rod couplings, beam clamps, and threaded hanger fittings. Just confirm your fittings are tapped 1/2-13 rather than 3/8-16, since 3/8 is the other common size on light conduit and small pipe runs.
4) Do nuts and washers come with this threaded rod?
No. The TRS9/6HDG is bare 1/2-13 rod only. Plan on ordering galvanized 1/2-13 hex nuts and flat washers separately, plus any coupling nuts if you're joining lengths for drops longer than 6 feet.
5) Does the TRS9/6HDG come as a single rod or a bundle?
It ships as a bundle, and the part is described as Piece 1, meaning one 6 foot rod is the unit being counted within that bundled pack. For a trapeze job, work out your total drop footage first, since 1/2-13 rod bought in 6 foot sticks is usually ordered by the bundle rather than the single length.
