Metallics TRS9/6B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What thread size and length is the Metallics TRS9/6B threaded rod?
The Metallics TRS9/6B is a 1/2"-13 UNC threaded rod, 6 feet long, made of steel with a zinc plated finish. The 1/2"-13 thread means it takes any standard 1/2-13 coarse thread nut, washer, coupling nut, or strut fitting.
2) Will 1/2-13 zinc threaded rod work for hanging conduit and pipe from a concrete deck?
Yes, that is one of its main uses. The 6 foot length is meant to be cut down to the drop you need for conduit hangers, pipe hangers, ductwork supports, and equipment brackets. The 1/2-13 thread mates with standard 1/2 inch rod couplings, hanger nuts, and clevis hangers. The anchor at the deck is a separate purchase, as are the nuts and washers.
3) Does the Metallics threaded rod come with nuts and washers?
No. The TRS9/6B ships as bare rod only in a bundle pack. You order 1/2-13 hex nuts, washers, and any coupling nuts or strut fittings separately. The install sequence is to thread the nuts on before you set the rod in place.
4) Is zinc plated threaded rod OK outdoors, or do I need stainless?
Zinc plating gives better corrosion resistance than plain steel and the rod is called out for indoor and outdoor electrical installations. For sheltered exterior work and damp interiors it holds up. For continuous wet exposure, coastal salt air, or chemical environments, stainless or hot dip galvanized rod is the better call.
5) Can I cut this 6 foot threaded rod down and still thread a nut onto the cut end?
Yes, cutting to length is the intended use. Cut with a bandsaw, chop saw with an abrasive wheel, or rod cutter, then dress the burr off the end with a file or grinder so a nut will start cleanly. Running a nut on past the cut before you cut, then backing it off, also chases the first threads back into shape.
6) Is 1/2 inch rod the right size for mounting an electrical panel or switchgear?
1/2"-13 steel rod is called out for electrical panel, switchgear, and control cabinet mounting, as well as industrial equipment and machinery anchoring. For lighter work, such as small raceway or single conduit drops, 3/8 or 1/4 inch rod is the usual choice and costs less in material. Load calculations for the specific assembly are the engineer's call.
7) How do I order the Metallics 1/2-13 x 6 foot threaded rod, and how does it come packed?
Order by Metallics part number TRS9/6B. It is a single configuration, 1/2"-13 x 6 feet, steel zinc plated, supplied as a bundle pack rather than individually boxed, which is how most shops buy rod for stock.
8) Can I join two lengths of this rod together to get a longer drop?
Yes. Because the thread is a standard 1/2"-13, two pieces join with a 1/2-13 coupling nut, and the same thread accepts standard strut nuts, rod hanger nuts, and eye nuts. Check that the coupling is fully engaged on both sides before loading it.
