Value Collection 05096 Threaded Rod 3/8-16 72 in Alloy Steel B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05096 is a general-purpose threaded rod in 3/8-16 UNC threading, measuring 72 inches in overall length and weighing 1.752 pounds. Manufactured from alloy steel to ASTM Grade B7 specification, this rod features a bright, uncoated finish and a right-hand thread direction throughout its full length. Grade B7 alloy steel provides elevated tensile and yield strength compared to standard carbon steel rods, making it a reliable choice for structural fastening, suspension, and anchoring applications across trade and industrial settings. Installation is performed by mechanical and structural tradespeople who require a consistent, full-length threaded fastener.

This threaded rod is suited for a wide range of general-purpose fastening applications including pipe hangers, equipment mounting, HVAC duct and conduit support, plumbing suspension systems, and structural anchoring assemblies. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes used in mechanical and construction work, accepting standard 3/8-16 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts. The 72-inch length allows field cutting to required lengths on the job site.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding fastening applications
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard hardware
• Right-hand thread direction throughout the full 72-inch length
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for indoor and dry-environment installations
• Full-length threading allows cut-to-length flexibility on site

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-install threaded rod compatible with standard 3/8-16 UNC nuts, coupling nuts, rod hangers, and anchoring hardware used in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical support applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors. Use a reciprocating saw, hacksaw, or abrasive cutoff tool rated for alloy steel when cutting to length; thread ends after cutting to remove burrs. Apply thread engagement of at least the rod diameter on each mating nut for rated load performance. Verify that hanger and support loads conform to applicable mechanical code requirements, such as those outlined in the International Mechanical Code or ASME standards for piping support.
