Metallics TRS8/3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics TRS8/3 come with nuts and washers?
No. It is bare 3/8-16 x 3 foot zinc rod only, sold as a piece. Nuts, flat washers, lock washers, coupling nuts, rod couplings, and whatever anchor or beam clamp you are attaching to at the structure all have to be ordered separately.
2) Will 3/8-16 threaded rod work for hanging electrical strut and conduit racks?
Yes. 3/8-16 is the common trade size for strut channel hanging, trapeze supports, and conduit racks, and the TRS8/3 rod threads directly into 3/8-16 strut nuts, beam clamps, and concrete anchors without any adapter. Cut the 3 foot length down to your drop with a bandsaw or rod cutter and chase the end with a nut to clean the threads.
3) Is zinc-plated threaded rod okay for outdoor or wet locations?
The TRS8/3 is zinc-plated steel, which is meant for dry indoor use. Zinc plating gives light corrosion protection for interior mechanical rooms, ceilings, and plenums, but in exterior, washdown, coastal, or chemically aggressive areas it will rust at cut ends and thread crests. For those locations specify stainless or hot-dip galvanized rod in the same 3/8-16 size instead.
4) I need a longer drop than 3 feet. Can I join two pieces of this rod?
Yes. Two TRS8/3 rods join with a 3/8-16 coupling nut, which is the normal way to extend a drop or to make up a long hanger from stock lengths. Thread each rod in until it meets at the middle of the coupling so both halves carry equally. Standard 10 foot rod is the other option if you would rather avoid a splice in the middle of a run.
5) Is the TRS8/3 sold individually or by the bundle?
The rod is identified as a single piece, and Metallics ships this item as a bundle pack type, so quantities come banded together rather than as loose singles. If you are laying out a run of hangers, count your drops before ordering.
6) What is the Metallics part number to order 3/8-16 x 3 foot zinc threaded rod?
Order Metallics TRS8/3. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the 3/8-16 x 3 foot zinc-plated steel rod, and it is the only configuration under that number.
