HoleMole 1/4in-20 Coupling Nut – Threaded Rod Extension
Description
HoleMole 1/4in-20 Coupling Nut – Join Threaded Mole Rods
- Creates extended rod assemblies: Joins two standard HoleMole threaded rods when additional installation length is required.
- Matching 1/4in-20 thread: Designed for the thread used by compatible HoleMole all-thread rods.
- Compact genuine accessory: Adds extension capability without replacing the complete HoleMole application system.
The HoleMole 1/4in-20 Coupling Nut is the matching connector used to join standard threaded Mole rods. By threading one rod into each end of the nut, installers can create a longer assembly for concrete openings where a single rod does not provide the working length required to connect the Mole to the stand or Wall Applicator.
An extended rod can be useful for deeper cores, thicker slabs or application arrangements that leave more distance between the former and reusable support equipment. The coupling must be installed with clean, undamaged matching threads, with both rods adequately engaged and aligned before the Mole is lowered or pulled into position.
This component extends the positioning rod only; it does not change the permitted Mole size, repair specification or performance of the finished fill. The contractor remains responsible for checking the complete assembly, confirming sufficient exposed thread for the SpeedNut and ensuring that the chosen repair method is suitable for the opening.
The listing contains one coupling nut for 1/4in-20 HoleMole threaded rods. Rods, Moles, SpeedNut and application tools are sold separately. Cable Glands UK supplies HoleMole coupling nuts and related replacement parts nationwide as the exclusive UK distributor.

How to Use
How to Join HoleMole Threaded Rods
- Confirm that both rods have matching 1/4in-20 threads and that an extended assembly is suitable for the installation method.
- Inspect the rod ends and coupling nut. Remove contamination and do not use components with damaged or distorted threads.
- Thread the first HoleMole rod into one end of the coupling nut until adequate engagement is achieved.
- Thread the second rod into the opposite end, keeping both rods aligned and securing the joint in accordance with the approved site method.
- Check the completed extension for straightness, secure engagement and sufficient remaining length for the Mole and SpeedNut connections.
- Install the extended rod assembly carefully and recheck the joint before placing the Mole under tension or adding repair material.
FAQs
What Is the HoleMole Coupling Nut Used For?
It joins two compatible 1/4in-20 HoleMole threaded rods to create a longer positioning assembly for deeper or thicker core-hole applications.
What thread size is the coupling nut?
It is designed for 1/4in-20 threaded HoleMole rods.
Are threaded rods included?
No. The listing contains one coupling nut only; 24in HoleMole all-thread rods are available separately.
Can it join two 24in rods?
It is made to connect compatible standard threaded Mole rods. Confirm that the resulting total length and joint are appropriate for the installation.
Does the coupling replace the SpeedNut?
No. The coupling joins rods together. A SpeedNut is still used to secure the rod assembly to the Mole Stand or Wall Applicator.
When would an extended rod be needed?
Examples include deeper cores, thicker slabs or arrangements where a standard rod does not leave enough exposed thread at the application tool.
Where can I buy HoleMole coupling nuts in the UK?
They are available from Cable Glands UK for nationwide delivery alongside threaded rods and other HoleMole accessories.
