Metallics DRT12ACP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/4-20 threaded rod work for hanging electrical boxes and small conduit runs?
That is what this size is normally used for. A 1/4-20 rod is the light-duty size in the threaded rod family, suited to small junction boxes, single conduit hangers, light fixtures and small strut drops. For trapeze supports carrying multiple heavy conduits or large cable tray, step up to 3/8-16 or 1/2-13 rod instead, since 1/4 inch rod is the smallest diameter commonly stocked for hanging work.
2) What else do I need to order with threaded rod to complete a hanger drop?
The rod ships on its own, so plan on the hardware at each end: an anchor or beam clamp at the structure, a 1/4-20 hex nut and washer at each connection, and whatever the load hangs from, such as a strut channel nut, conduit hanger, or box bracket. Coupling nuts are needed if you are joining two rods to span more than 12 inches.
3) Is DRT12ACP the right Metallics part number for 1/4-20 by 12 inch rod?
Yes. DRT12ACP is the Metallics catalog number for the 1/4-20 x 12 inch threaded rod supplied ten pieces to a pack. Order by that number to get the 1/4 inch diameter in the 12 inch length rather than a longer stock length.
