Value Collection 05153 Threaded Rod 7/8-9 Alloy Steel Grade B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05153 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from Grade B7 alloy steel with a 7/8-9 UNC thread profile and a right-hand thread direction. The rod measures 36 inches in overall length and carries a bright, uncoated finish. Grade B7 alloy steel is a chromium-molybdenum material widely specified in structural, mechanical, and industrial fastening applications where elevated tensile strength and hardness are required. The rod weighs 5.116 pounds. It is sold as a single piece and is commonly cut to length on site to suit the required installation.

This threaded rod is suited for general mechanical and structural assemblies in commercial and industrial settings. Typical applications include through-bolting structural members, suspending pipe hangers and conduit strut systems, anchoring equipment bases, and assembling clamping or tensioning fixtures. The 7/8-9 UNC coarse thread is a standard inch-series fastener size compatible with matching hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts of the same thread designation. The uncoated bright finish makes it suitable for interior or dry-environment use; additional coating should be applied for corrosive environments.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding structural and mechanical fastening
• 7/8-9 UNC coarse right-hand thread is a common inch-series standard, compatible with widely available nuts and hardware
• 36-inch length allows field cutting to multiple shorter lengths from a single rod
• Bright uncoated finish preserves dimensional accuracy and facilitates welding or secondary coating when required
• General-purpose designation suits a broad range of through-bolt, hanger, and tensioning applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fastener component compatible with standard 7/8-9 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts in residential, commercial, and industrial mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters, ironworkers, electricians, or mechanical contractors depending on the application. Always de-energize, depressurize, or de-load any system before replacing or repositioning a loaded rod. Use appropriate thread lubricant and torque specifications defined by the structural engineer of record or equipment manufacturer for the specific joint. Field cuts should be made with a reciprocating saw or cold saw and threads should be chased with a die after cutting to restore thread form.
