Metallics TRS9/6BD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use 1/2-13 threaded rod for hanging electrical conduit, strut, and cable tray?
That is exactly what this rod is for. The TRS9/6BD is 1/2-13 zinc-plated steel rod in 6 foot lengths, the size most commonly used with trapeze hangers, strut channel, beam clamps, and conduit hangers on electrical work. You cut it to the drop length you need on site. Beam clamps, strut nuts, and hanger hardware are ordered separately.
2) Will 1/2-13 rod thread into a 1/2 inch drop-in concrete anchor?
Yes. A 1/2 inch internally threaded drop-in or wedge anchor is tapped 1/2-13, so the TRS9/6BD threads straight in. The same applies to 1/2 inch beam clamps and strut nuts, which are tapped to the same 1/2-13 coarse thread.
3) Is the zinc-plated finish on this threaded rod suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
Zinc plating on the TRS9/6BD is a mild corrosion coating intended for dry interior use. For damp, exterior, or corrosive environments, specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless rod instead. Also keep in mind that cutting zinc-plated rod leaves bare steel at the cut end.
4) Does Metallics TRS9/6BD threaded rod ship as a single piece or a bundle?
The TRS9/6BD is supplied as a bundle pack, described as one piece of 1/2-13 x 6 foot rod per unit. Order quantity by the number of 6 foot lengths you need for the run.
5) How do I join two lengths of 1/2-13 threaded rod to get a longer drop?
Use a 1/2-13 coupling nut, sometimes called a rod coupling, to splice two 6 foot lengths end to end. Thread each rod in so it bottoms out roughly at the middle of the coupling so both halves get full engagement. Coupling nuts are a separate item from the TRS9/6BD rod.
