Value Collection 01042 Threaded Rod 8-32 2 Ft Low Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01042 is a general-purpose threaded rod in 8-32 UNC thread size, measuring 2 feet in overall length. Made from low-carbon steel with a Grade 36 material rating, it features a right-hand thread direction and an oil finish coating for basic corrosion inhibition during storage and installation. This rod is a standard fastening component used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors for hanging, suspending, or anchoring equipment and hardware assemblies. It ships as a single piece and is suited for both light fabrication and maintenance applications.

This threaded rod is appropriate for residential and commercial trade installations where an 8-32 UNC standard thread is required. Common applications include hanging conduit supports, mounting HVAC components, suspending pipe hangers, and assembling framing or structural fastening systems. The 2-foot length allows for cutting to custom dimensions on the job. Installation typically involves threading into compatible nuts, couplings, or anchor hardware sized for 8-32 UNC.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard 8-32 fastening hardware
• 2-foot overall length provides flexibility for cut-to-length field use
• Low-carbon steel construction, Grade 36, for general-duty load applications
• Oil finish coating provides basic surface protection during handling and storage
• General-purpose designation suits a wide range of trade and maintenance tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock threaded rod compatible with standard 8-32 UNC nuts, couplings, and threaded inserts used in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable mechanical and building codes. Cut to length using a thread-restoring die or a proper rod cutter to preserve thread integrity at the cut end. Ensure the receiving hardware, such as nuts or couplings, is rated for 8-32 UNC before assembly. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not force-thread into mismatched hardware.
