Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03042 is a general-purpose threaded rod in an 8-32 thread size, measuring 2 feet in overall length. Constructed from low-carbon steel with a Grade 36 material rating and a zinc finish coating, it is suited for light-to-medium fastening and support applications across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. The right-hand UNC thread pattern is the standard configuration for most domestic hardware and support systems. Weighing approximately 0.85 pounds, the rod is easy to handle and cut to length on the job site.

This threaded rod is commonly used in residential and commercial installations where a standard, all-thread fastener is required.
