Metallics TRS9/6-316 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics TRS9/6-316 threaded rod?
It's a 1/2-13 threaded rod, six feet long, in stainless. The 1/2-13 call-out means a 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse pitch for half inch rod, so it takes standard 1/2-13 nuts, couplings, and rod hangers.
2) Is this half inch threaded rod stainless steel, and is it suitable for wet or outdoor hanging?
The TRS9/6-316 is stainless rod, and the 316 in the designation is the alloy grade, which is the marine or chloride resistant austenitic stainless commonly specified for wet, coastal, washdown, and corrosive environments. That makes it the right choice for exterior conduit and pipe hanging, pool and food plant rooms, or anywhere plated carbon rod would rust out.
3) Can I cut this 6 foot threaded rod down to length on the job?
Yes. Six foot stainless rod is normally cut to length in the field with a bandsaw, portaband, or abrasive wheel, then the lead thread is chased or filed so a nut starts clean. Cut 316 slowly, it work hardens if you force it. Each 1/2-13 drop you cut still takes standard half inch stainless nuts and hanger hardware.
4) Does the Metallics TRS9/6-316 come with nuts and washers?
No. It is bare 1/2-13 stainless rod only, no nuts, washers, couplings, or hanger components. Order 1/2-13 hardware separately, and match it in stainless so you don't pair a plated carbon nut with stainless rod in a wet location.
5) Is this half inch threaded rod sold as a single piece or in a bundle?
It ships as a bundle pack type, and the item itself is described as one piece of 6 foot rod. If you are hanging a long run of trapeze or strut, figure your total drop footage and divide by six to get the piece count you need.
