Metallics TRS7/3SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this threaded rod stainless steel or zinc plated?
Stainless steel. That is the reason to pick the TRS7/3SS over a plated carbon rod: it holds up in wet, washdown, exterior, and corrosive locations where electro-galvanized or zinc plated rod will rust at the cut end and thread crests.
2) Will 5/16-18 threaded rod work for hanging electrical conduit and strut?
Yes, 5/16-18 is one of the common trapeze and hanger rod sizes for conduit, strut channel, and light mechanical supports, and the TRS7/3SS is sold for electrical work. Pair it with 5/16-18 hex nuts, washers, rod couplings, and strut nuts of the same thread. For heavier trapeze runs, step up to 3/8-16 or 1/2-13 rod instead.
3) Does the TRS7/3SS come with nuts and washers?
No. The TRS7/3SS is rod only, 5/16-18 by 3 feet. Order 5/16-18 nuts, washers, and any rod couplings or hanger fittings separately, and match them in stainless if you are using the rod for its corrosion resistance, since mixing plated steel nuts onto stainless rod reintroduces a rusting part at the connection.
4) Can the Metallics TRS7/3SS be cut down to shorter lengths on site?
Yes. It is a plain 3 foot length of 5/16-18 rod with no end fittings, so it cuts with a bandsaw, portaband, or rod cutter and gets threads chased with a 5/16-18 die. Cutting stainless dulls blades faster than mild steel, so expect to use a cutting lubricant.
5) Is Metallics threaded rod sold by the piece or in a bundle?
The TRS7/3SS is packed as a bundle, and the catalog designation covers a single 3 foot piece of 5/16-18 stainless rod. If you are standardizing a job on one rod size, order the piece count you need rather than assuming a bundle quantity covers the run.
