Value Collection 01046 Threaded Rod 8-32 6 Foot Steel Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01046 is a general-purpose threaded rod made from low-carbon steel with a Grade 36 material rating. It measures 6 feet in overall length and is threaded 8-32 UNC along its full length in a right-hand direction. An oil finish coating provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and installation. This type of rod is commonly installed by electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general contractors when suspending equipment, supports, or assemblies from overhead structures. The 8-32 thread size suits lighter-duty hanging applications in both commercial and residential settings.

General-purpose threaded rod in the 8-32 size is used across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades for suspended pipe hangers, electrical conduit supports, HVAC duct hangers, and equipment mounting frames. This 6-foot length allows field cutting to the required drop length using a hacksaw or rod cutter. The UNC thread form is the most widely stocked standard for compatibility with nuts, couplings, and hanger hardware at typical supply houses.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread form for wide compatibility with standard nuts and hanger hardware
• Full 6-foot length allows field cutting to required drop dimensions
• Low-carbon steel construction with Grade 36 material rating for general-purpose structural use
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener hardware throughout the trade
• Oil finish coating helps resist surface oxidation during storage and handling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod compatible with standard 8-32 UNC nuts, couplings, and hanger assemblies used in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing suspension applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is typically performed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors depending on the supported system. Cut rod to length using a rod cutter or hacksaw and dress the cut end with a thread die to restore clean thread engagement before installing nuts or couplings. Power down or de-energize any adjacent electrical systems before working overhead. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer torque guidelines for the connecting hardware being used.
