Value Collection 05083 Threaded Rod 5/16-18 36in Alloy Steel B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05083 is a general-purpose threaded rod in a 5/16-18 UNC configuration, cut to 36 inches in length from Grade B7 alloy steel. Grade B7 alloy steel provides high tensile strength and is well suited for structural fastening, equipment mounting, and industrial applications where standard mild steel would be insufficient. The plain finish leaves the rod uncoated, making it compatible with standard hardware and nuts in matching thread pitch. Right-hand thread direction follows conventional fastener standards. This rod is typically cut to length on the job by millwrights, pipefitters, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople.

This threaded rod is used across a wide range of trade and industrial settings, including HVAC equipment mounting, pipe hanger assemblies, electrical conduit support, and general mechanical fastening. The 5/16-18 UNC thread size fits standard coupling nuts, hex nuts, and threaded inserts in that specification. At 36 inches, the rod provides a full-length blank that can be cut down as needed for specific installation depths or hanging configurations. It is appropriate for both light commercial and residential applications where Grade B7 strength is specified.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for elevated tensile strength versus standard low-carbon threaded rod
• 5/16-18 UNC thread size fits widely available standard hardware
• 36-inch overall length suitable for cutting to required span
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard nuts and couplings
• Plain finish for use where coating is not required or where field treatment will be applied
• General-purpose rod type appropriate for structural, support, and fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod compatible with standard 5/16-18 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, threaded inserts, and related hardware. Suitable for use in any application specifying 5/16-18 UNC Grade B7 alloy steel threaded rod.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, pipefitters, electricians, or maintenance technicians depending on the application. Cut to length using a hacksaw, angle grinder, or cold saw, and dress the cut end with a thread chaser or die before assembling hardware. Follow applicable building codes and equipment manufacturer specifications for torque and fastener requirements. Ensure mating hardware matches the 5/16-18 UNC thread specification to prevent cross-threading or fastener failure.
