Anderson Metals Corp 714014-08 Short Rod Nut 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714014-08 is a 1/2 inch short rod nut designed for threaded rod connections in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. Sold in a 2-pack, this fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications where lead-free materials are mandated. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this hardware when securing threaded rod assemblies in hangers, supports, and bracing configurations. The compact short-body profile suits tight clearance installations where a standard-length rod nut will not fit.

This rod nut is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where threaded rod supports are required. It is a common component in pipe hanger assemblies, strut support systems, and seismic bracing applications. The lead-free construction makes it appropriate for installations subject to state and federal potable water regulations. Each package contains 2 units, and the product is carded for easy point-of-use identification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters as part of pipe support and hanger assemblies. Shut off system pressure before working on any connected piping. Follow applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements for hanger spacing and support rod sizing. Use appropriate wrenches to achieve a secure fit without over-torquing the nut onto the rod threads.
