Metallics DRT12ADOC14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many pieces come in the Metallics DRT12ADOC14 threaded rod pack?
Ten pieces per pack. You're buying a box of ten 1/4-20 x 12 inch rods, not a single stick, so plan the order around that quantity when you're hanging a run of boxes or fixtures.
2) Is 1/4-20 threaded rod enough for hanging electrical boxes and light fixtures?
1/4-20 rod is the light-duty size in the drop rod range and is what's commonly used for hanging small junction boxes, lay-in troffers, and light raceway. For heavier runs of strut, large cable tray, or sprinkler mains, contractors step up to 3/8-16 or 1/2-13 rod instead. The DRT12ADOC14 is a 1/4-20 x 12 inch rod sold ten to a pack, so it's aimed at the lighter hanging work.
3) Do nuts and washers come with the Metallics DRT12ADOC14 rod?
The pack is rods only, ten 1/4-20 x 12 inch pieces. Order 1/4-20 hex nuts, flat washers, and whatever anchor or beam clamp you're hanging from separately, since each rod typically needs hardware at both the structure and the fixture end.
4) Will 1/4-20 rod thread into a standard 1/4 inch rod coupling or strut nut?
Yes. 1/4-20 is the standard coarse thread for quarter inch rod, so the DRT12ADOC14 runs into any 1/4-20 coupling nut, strut channel nut, beam clamp, or threaded insert. Just confirm the hardware on hand is 1/4-20 and not the fine 1/4-28 pitch, which will not engage.
5) Can I cut the Metallics 12 inch threaded rod down to a shorter drop?
Yes. A 12 inch 1/4-20 rod cuts cleanly to any shorter drop with a bandsaw, portaband, or bolt cutter, and because the thread runs the full length you still get usable thread on both pieces. Chase the cut end with a 1/4-20 nut to clean the first thread before you run hardware onto it.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4-20 x 12 inch threaded rod 10 pack?
The manufacturer part number is DRT12ADOC14, from Metallics. That's the identifier to quote for the 1/4-20 x 12 inch rod sold ten per pack.
