L H Dottie Co SSM14B 1/4-20 Metal Drilling Rod

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co SSM14B is a 1/4-20 threaded metal drilling rod designed for use in anchoring and fastening applications across trade installations. This rod provides a threaded shaft compatible with 1/4-20 hardware, allowing secure mechanical connections in metal and structural assemblies. It is sold individually and is a standard component used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors when securing conduit hangers, pipe supports, strut systems, and similar hardware to structural substrates.

The SSM14B is suited for light commercial and residential trade work where 1/4-20 threaded connections are specified. It fits into common hanger and support configurations and is a go-to component for overhead and wall-mounted mechanical system installations. Installers working with threaded rod support systems, drop-in anchors, or beam clamps will find this rod a standard fit for those assemblies.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 thread pattern for broad hardware compatibility
• Metal construction for durability in structural support applications
• Sold individually, allowing single-piece procurement
• Suited for conduit hangers, pipe supports, and strut mounting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 threaded rod for use with compatible nuts, anchors, hangers, and support hardware that accept 1/4-20 threaded connections in mechanical and electrical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded drilling rods is typically performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or HVAC technicians as part of a support or anchoring system. Ensure all structural anchoring points meet applicable load requirements before securing rod assemblies. Follow NEC or IPC guidelines as appropriate to the application when routing conduit or piping on rod-supported systems. Confirm thread engagement depth meets hardware manufacturer requirements before applying load.
