Metallics TRS106 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What nuts and washers fit a 5/8-11 threaded rod?
5/8-11 is the standard UNC coarse thread for 5/8 inch diameter rod, so any off-the-shelf 5/8-11 hex nut, coupling nut, rod coupler, or 5/8 inch flat washer threads on directly. That also covers 5/8-11 beam clamps, strut nuts, and hanger hardware used on conduit and cable tray supports. No adapters are needed.
2) Can I cut the 6 foot threaded rod down to shorter drops?
Yes. The Metallics TRS106 is supplied in 6 foot lengths specifically so it can be cut to the drop length you need on site. Cut with a bandsaw, chop saw with an abrasive wheel, or rod cutter, then chase the cut end with a 5/8-11 nut to clean up the threads. Bear in mind the zinc plating is removed where you cut, so a cut end in a damp or exterior location should be touched up.
3) Is zinc-plated threaded rod suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
Zinc plating on this steel rod resists rust in normal indoor and protected environments, which covers most conduit, cable tray, and equipment hanging work. It is a coating, not stainless, so for continuously wet locations, exterior exposure, chemical areas, or pool and coastal jobs, stainless or hot-dip galvanized rod is the better call.
4) Should I use 5/8 inch rod or step down to 3/8 or 1/2 inch for hanging conduit?
5/8-11 is the heavy end of the trapeze and hanger range. It is what you reach for on long-span trapeze supports, loaded cable tray, busway, and heavier equipment where 3/8 or 1/2 inch rod would be undersized. For single small conduit runs and light fixture drops, smaller diameter rod is easier to cut and cheaper to hang. Match the diameter to the engineered support detail on the drawing.
5) Is this the same threaded rod used for structural and mechanical hanging, or is it electrical only?
It is catalogued for electrical work, but 5/8-11 zinc-plated all-thread is the same rod trades use for mechanical and general hanging: panel and equipment mounting, trapeze supports, and structural fastening. There is nothing electrical-specific about the rod itself. What you must confirm is the load rating your engineer requires, since the support design, not the rod alone, governs what you can hang from it.
