Acorn TR516 Threaded Rod 5/16-18 X 6 Inches

Product Description

The ACORN TR516 is a fully threaded rod measuring 5/16-18 x 6 inches, designed for use in mechanical fastening applications across trade installations. Fully threaded along its entire length, this rod accepts standard 5/16-18 UNC hex nuts and coupling nuts, making it suitable for hanging, bracing, anchoring, and joining operations. It is a go-to fastener component for HVAC duct hangers, plumbing supports, electrical conduit bracing, and general mechanical work where a continuous thread length is required.

This threaded rod is used in both residential and light commercial construction and service work. HVAC technicians commonly use threaded rod of this type to suspend ductwork, air handlers, and pipe hangers from overhead structure. Plumbers and pipefitters use it for pipe support assemblies and strut channel connections. The 5/16-18 thread size and 6-inch length make it well suited for standard trade strut, bracket, and hanger configurations encountered in everyday service and installation work.

Key Features

• Full-length 5/16-18 UNC threading for maximum fastening flexibility
• 6-inch length suits standard hanger and brace assemblies
• Compatible with standard 5/16-18 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and strut hardware
• Consistent thread pitch for reliable engagement across fittings and fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC threaded rod for use with compatible nuts, couplings, and strut channel hardware in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is typically performed by HVAC, plumbing, or electrical trade professionals as part of support and hanger assemblies. Always de-energize electrical systems and isolate mechanical systems before working in the install area. Use appropriate hex nuts and washers rated for the load being supported, and follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for hanger spacing and load ratings. Do not modify rod length by methods that damage thread integrity at the cut end without re-chasing the threads.
