Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N316-109 is a cold rolled steel smooth rod measuring 0.75 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Cold rolled steel delivers higher yield strength, increased hardness, and tighter dimensional tolerances compared to hot rolled steel. This rod is suited for fencing, structural supports, railings, sign posts, framework, and a range of industrial applications. It meets ASTM A510 standards and is rated for both interior and exterior use. Weighing 6.4 pounds, the N316-109 is a single-piece unit ready for fabrication, welding, or forming as required by the application.

This smooth rod is appropriate for light structural and decorative applications across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Common installation scenarios include fence framework, sign post assemblies, handrail support structures, and general metalworking projects. Its cold rolled construction provides consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy, making it well suited for applications requiring precise fits or clean welds. The rod is sold individually and is compatible with standard metalworking and fabrication processes.

Key Features

• Cold rolled steel construction provides higher yield strength and hardness than hot rolled alternatives
