Metallics DRT2450378 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 1/4-20 threaded rod the right size for hanging electrical conduit and small boxes?
1/4-20 is the lightest of the common all-thread sizes and suits light duty work: small conduit runs, junction box supports, light fixture drops and similar. For heavier trapeze supports, larger conduit banks or ganged runs, electricians typically step up to 3/8-16 or 1/2-13 rod.
2) What do I need to order with threaded rod to actually hang something?
The rod ships on its own. You'll need the hanging hardware separately: 1/4-20 hex nuts and washers, a ceiling anchor or beam clamp at the top, and whatever holds the load at the bottom (conduit hanger, strut nut, rod coupling if you need to extend past 24 inches). Everything you add has to be 1/4-20 to thread on.
3) How many pieces come in a pack of Metallics DRT2450378 threaded rod?
Ten rods per pack, each 1/4-20 x 24 inches. Worth knowing before you order for a run of hanger drops, since you're buying by the bundle rather than the stick.
4) Can I cut the 24 inch threaded rod down to shorter drop lengths?
Yes. All-thread is threaded the full 24 inches, so you can cut it anywhere along the length and still thread a nut on. Chase the cut end with a file or run a nut off it to clean up the burr so the threads start cleanly.
5) Will 1/4-20 rod thread into a strut channel nut?
It will, as long as the channel nut is tapped 1/4-20. Strut nuts are sold in matching thread sizes (1/4-20, 3/8-16, 1/2-13), so pull the 1/4-20 nut and the rod threads straight in. A 3/8-16 strut nut will not accept this rod.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4-20 x 24 inch threaded rod 10 pack?
DRT2450378 is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the 1/4-20 x 24 inch all-thread rod supplied 10 pieces to a pack.
