Metallics TRS812SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the TRS812SS threaded rod work with 3/8 inch beam clamps and strut nuts?
Yes. At 3/8-16 it threads into any standard 3/8 inch rod-hanging accessory, beam clamps, strut channel nuts, rod couplings, hanger rod stiffeners and clevis hangers cut for 3/8 inch rod. The thread pitch on these accessories is 16 TPI coarse, which is what the TRS812SS carries.
2) Is the TRS812SS rod stainless steel or zinc plated?
Stainless steel, not plated carbon steel. That matters where a plated rod would bleed rust: wet mechanical rooms, kitchens, pool and natatorium spaces, coastal or exterior canopy work, wash-down areas in food and healthcare facilities. If the hanger is in a dry conditioned ceiling plenum, a plain zinc rod will usually do the job instead.
3) Does the TRS812SS come as a single rod or a bundle?
It ships as a bundle rather than a single loose piece, so expect multiple 12 foot lengths of the 3/8-16 stainless rod per order unit. Plan your take-off in full 12 foot sticks and cut to drop length on site.
4) Can I cut 12 foot threaded rod down to shorter hanger drops?
Yes, that is the normal use for a 12 foot stick. Cut it with a bandsaw, portaband or rod cutter and chase the cut end with a 3/8-16 die or run a nut off the cut to clean the first threads so nuts start freely. Buying in 12 foot lengths rather than pre-cut rod lets you set each drop height to the actual ceiling condition.
5) Do nuts and washers come with the TRS812SS threaded rod?
No. The TRS812SS is rod only, 3/8-16 stainless in 12 foot lengths. Order your 3/8-16 hex nuts, flat washers and any couplings or beam clamps separately, and match them to stainless if the reason you chose this rod was corrosion.
6) Can I use the Metallics TRS812SS outdoors or in a corrosive environment?
Stainless construction is the reason to pick this rod over plated steel, so it suits exterior and damp or chemically aggressive locations where zinc would corrode. Use stainless nuts and washers with it; mixing in plated hardware puts the weak link back in the assembly.
7) What size rod do I need for electrical conduit and fixture hangers, 3/8 or 1/4 inch?
3/8-16 is the common trunk size for supporting conduit racks, cable tray drops, strut trapezes and heavier lighting fixtures, while 1/4-20 rod is used for light single-conduit or small fixture drops. The TRS812SS covers the 3/8 inch case in stainless.
