Value Collection 05166 Threaded Rod 1-8 Unc 6 Ft Alloy Steel B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05166 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from alloy steel to ASTM Grade B7 specifications. At 6 feet in length with a 1-8 UNC thread profile and right-hand thread direction, this rod is built for high-load fastening applications where tensile strength and dimensional consistency are critical. The plain finish alloy steel construction provides the mechanical properties required for structural and mechanical assembly work. At 13.36 pounds, this is a full-length rod suited for cut-to-length use on the job or in a fabrication shop.

General-purpose threaded rod of this specification is commonly used in mechanical, structural, and industrial installations including HVAC equipment mounting, pipe hangers, electrical conduit support, and equipment anchorage. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and millwrights all use Grade B7 alloy steel rod where standard mild steel does not meet load or temperature requirements. It is appropriate for both commercial and light industrial applications.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and elevated temperature performance
• 1-8 UNC thread profile with right-hand direction for compatibility with standard nuts and couplers
• 6-foot full length allows field cutting to required dimensions
• Plain finish suitable for indoor use or customer-applied coating
• General-purpose designation supports a wide range of structural and mechanical fastening tasks

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-8 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, and washers in general-purpose threaded rod assemblies across mechanical, structural, and trade installation applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is typically performed by licensed tradespeople including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians depending on the application. Always de-energize electrical systems and shut off fluid systems before installing hangers or supports attached to this rod. Use a rod cutter or abrasive cutoff tool to cut to length, and restore thread ends with a die or thread chaser as needed. Refer to applicable building and mechanical codes for hanger spacing, load ratings, and seismic requirements.
