The Differences Between the Hurri-Bolt System and other rod systems are many.

Positive Stop

POSITIVE STOP HURRI-BOLT

First we are the only system that uses a double-end stud. The smooth shaft prevents scuffing of the insulation on any cables pulled through the wall cavities.

Second, our coupling nuts have a positive stop in the center. This prevents the rod from over turning the center of the coupler, which means perfect engagement every time.

The one inch of thread and the positive stop allows our couplers to be visually inspected, since 3/10th's of an inch of thread is visible above and below the coupler. Next, our standard rod length is 6'. This makes installing rods in walls with mid-blocking a snap.
