A stripped rod coupling is a failed support joint. Remove the load, replace the hardware, and verify full/equal thread engagement by the approved detail.
Do not leave a hanger rod barely threaded into a coupling nut.
Check
Temporarily support the run before removing the coupling.
Check both rod ends for damaged threads.
Verify equal rod engagement in the coupling.
Use jam nuts/locking method where required.
Check nearby couplings in the same section.

Say this to your foreman
The rod coupling at [location] stripped and one side had poor engagement. I supported the run. Do you want new rods/couplings installed and the nearby extensions checked?
