Keystone Threaded Products KT006AC1A182870 Threaded Rod

Product Description

The KEYSTONE THREADED PRODUCTS KT006AC1A182870 is a 6-foot Precision ACME threaded rod machined from Grade 304 stainless steel. It features a 3/8-12 ACME thread form with a Class 2C fit and a single-start, right-hand thread profile. ACME threads are designed for power transmission and linear motion applications, offering greater load-carrying capacity and easier assembly than standard V-form threads. The 304 stainless construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. This rod is used by mechanical contractors, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on linear actuators, jigs, clamps, and general mechanical assemblies.

This threaded rod suits commercial and industrial applications where a standard ACME thread form is required for power transmission, positioning, or structural fastening. It is appropriate for use in fabrication shops, mechanical systems, HVAC equipment frames, and process equipment where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 72-inch overall length allows the rod to be cut to fit specific installation requirements. The single-start thread geometry provides consistent, predictable linear travel per revolution.

Key Features

• 3/8-12 ACME thread form for power transmission and linear motion
• Precision ACME designation ensures accurate thread geometry
• Class 2C thread fit provides standard clearance for reliable engagement
• Single-start, right-hand thread for conventional drive applications
• Grade 304 stainless steel resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• 72-inch length can be field-cut to required dimensions

Compatibility

Designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-12 single-start Precision ACME right-hand thread with a Class 2C fit. Suitable as a replacement or build-out rod in any application specifying Grade 304 stainless ACME rod at this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical contractors or maintenance technicians. Secure all moving parts and de-energize any associated mechanical or electrical systems before replacing or installing threaded rod. Use appropriate thread-cutting or metal saw equipment when sizing to length, and deburr cut ends before assembly. Follow applicable ASME or OSHA standards for fastener selection and torque in the specific application.
