Oatey Company 335501 Steel Rod Coupling 3/8 Inches

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 335501 is a 3/8-inch steel rod coupling designed to join threaded rods end-to-end in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical support applications. Constructed from durable steel, this coupling provides a secure, load-bearing connection between two sections of 3/8-inch threaded rod. It is a standard hardware component used by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and mechanical contractors when building pipe hangers, equipment supports, and strut assemblies. The compact form factor and steel construction make it a reliable choice for both new construction and retrofit installations where threaded rod extensions are required.

This rod coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 3/8-inch threaded rod is used to suspend pipe, conduit, ductwork, or equipment from overhead structural members. It is a common component in suspended ceiling grid systems, pipe hanger assemblies, and mechanical room support structures. Packages contain 6 couplings per unit, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple connections along a single run or across several support points.

Key Features

• Durable steel construction for reliable load-bearing performance
• Accepts 3/8-inch threaded rod on both ends for inline extension
• Standard thread pattern compatible with common 3/8-inch threaded rod stock
• Sold in a package of 6 for multi-point installations
• Compact coupling profile fits standard hanger and support assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement and new-installation coupling for 3/8-inch threaded rod used in pipe hanger, conduit support, and mechanical support applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or electricians as part of a pipe or conduit support assembly. Thread the coupling fully onto each rod end by hand, then tighten with an appropriate wrench to achieve a snug, secure joint. Ensure the threaded rod is free of damage or debris before threading the coupling to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable codes including NFPA 13, SMACNA, or local mechanical codes for support spacing and load requirements.
