Metallics TRS7/6SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this threaded rod stainless steel, and can it be used outdoors or in damp locations?
Stainless, not plated steel. The TRS7/6SS rod is stainless construction, which is what installers specify for exterior hanger drops, wash-down areas, coastal jobs and corrosive process spaces where zinc-plated rod rusts at the cut end.
2) Will a 5/16-18 threaded rod work with standard strut channel nuts and beam clamps?
Yes. A 5/16-18 rod threads into any 5/16-18 tapped fitting, which covers common strut channel spring nuts, beam clamps, rod couplings and hanger fittings sized for 5/16 rod. Match the fitting to the 5/16-18 coarse thread, not to a fine-thread tap.
3) Can I cut this 6 foot threaded rod down to shorter hanger drops?
That's the normal way it gets used. Threaded rod is sold in full 6 foot lengths and cut to the drop length on site with a bandsaw, chop saw with an abrasive wheel, or a rod cutter. Chase the cut end with a 5/16-18 die or run a nut off the cut to clean up the threads.
4) Does the Metallics TRS7/6SS come as a single rod or a bundle?
It is packaged as a bundle, ordered as piece 1 of the Metallics TRS7/6SS 5/16-18 x 6 foot stainless rod. If you are hanging a long run of conduit or trapeze supports, order by the number of 6 foot pieces you need rather than by total linear footage.
5) Do nuts and washers come with this threaded rod?
No. The TRS7/6SS ships as bare 5/16-18 x 6 foot stainless rod. Nuts, washers, couplings, hanger fittings and anchors all get ordered separately, and on a stainless run you generally want stainless hardware to go with it so you don't set up galvanic corrosion at the joint.
6) What part number do I order for a 5/16-18 stainless threaded rod from Metallics?
TRS7/6SS is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the 5/16 inch-18 by 6 foot stainless threaded rod. That single MPN covers the item, there are no finish or length options to specify with it.
