Value Collection 05093 Threaded Rod 3/8-16 36in Alloy Steel B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05093 is a general-purpose threaded rod in 3/8-16 UNC thread size, measuring 36 inches in overall length. Manufactured from Grade B7 alloy steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this rod is suited for high-strength fastening and structural anchoring applications. Grade B7 alloy steel provides elevated tensile and yield strength compared to standard low-carbon threaded rod, making it a common choice for bolted flange assemblies, pipe hangers, equipment mounting, and tension-load applications where standard Grade 2 or Grade 5 hardware is insufficient. The right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention. Weighing approximately 0.87 pounds, this rod ships as a single piece per package.

This threaded rod is used across mechanical, structural, and industrial trade applications. HVAC contractors use B7 alloy threaded rod for equipment hangers, vibration isolation mounts, and duct support systems. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on it for pipe support assemblies and flange bolt stud replacement. Electricians and general contractors use it for overhead conduit support and structural anchoring where elevated strength is required. The 36-inch length allows on-site cutting to custom lengths using standard thread-preserving cutting methods.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel provides high tensile strength for demanding load-bearing applications
• 3/8-16 UNC thread is a widely stocked, standard coarse-thread size compatible with common hex nuts and couplings
• 36-inch length can be field-cut to required dimensions
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for dry or controlled indoor environments
• Right-hand thread follows standard UNC fastener convention

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or installation threaded rod for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, pipe hanger hardware, and structural fastener assemblies in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, or general contractors depending on the application. When cutting the rod to length, use a thread die or thread restorer to clean the cut end before assembly. Confirm load ratings and support spacing against applicable codes such as the International Mechanical Code or applicable ANSI/ASME B18 fastener standards. Do not use uncoated bright rod in wet or corrosive environments without appropriate corrosion protection.
