Metallics DRT12AC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics DRT12AC threaded rod?
1/4-20 thread, meaning a 1/4 inch diameter rod with 20 threads per inch, in a 12 inch length. Any 1/4-20 nut, coupling nut, hex nut, or beam clamp will thread onto it, so match your hardware to 1/4-20 rather than to a metric equivalent.
2) Can I cut the 12 inch 1/4-20 rod down for shorter drops?
Yes. It's continuously threaded 1/4-20 stock at 12 inches, so you can cut it to any shorter drop on site and still thread a 1/4-20 nut onto the cut end once you dress the threads. Cut it long-side first; you can shorten a rod but you can't stretch one.
3) Do I get nuts and washers with the Metallics DRT12AC rod pack?
The DRT12AC is ten 1/4-20 x 12 inch rods. Nuts, washers, beam clamps, rod couplings, and anchors are separate items, so add your 1/4-20 hex nuts and flat washers to the order if the job needs them.
4) Will 1/4-20 threaded rod work for hanging electrical conduit and strut?
1/4-20 is the light-duty size in the trade, used for small fixture drops, single small conduit runs, and light strut. For loaded trapeze hangers or multiple conduit runs, electricians typically step up to 3/8-16 or 1/2-13 rod. Size the rod to the load your engineer or the code authority calls for, not to what's convenient.
