Value Collection 07083 5/16-18 Threaded Rod 36in Grade B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 07083 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from Grade B7 alloy steel with a 5/16-18 UNC thread profile and a right-hand thread direction. The rod measures 36 inches in overall length and carries a yellow zinc finish that provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for indoor and light industrial environments. At 0.6 pounds, it is lightweight enough for overhead work yet holds the strength expected of B7 alloy material. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC installers, and general mechanical contractors use this style of rod for hanging pipe, conduit, ductwork, and equipment supports.

This threaded rod is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical installations where a UNC 5/16-18 fastener is specified. Common applications include strut channel assemblies, hanger rod systems, vibration isolation mounts, and equipment anchorage. The 36-inch length allows field cutting to required hanger drops without wasting material. Installers working to plumbing, mechanical, or electrical support standards will find the B7 grade appropriate for moderate load-bearing applications at ambient temperatures.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for elevated tensile strength compared to standard mild steel rod
• 5/16-18 UNC thread profile for broad compatibility with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and strut hardware
• Right-hand thread direction — installs with standard clockwise-tighten tooling
• Yellow zinc finish provides light corrosion protection for indoor and dry environments
• 36-inch length field-cuttable to required hanger or support drop lengths

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-installation threaded rod for any assembly requiring a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand threaded rod in 36-inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed mechanical, plumbing, or electrical tradespeople per applicable codes including IFGC, IPC, or NEC support and hanger requirements. Power down or depressurize any system before attaching or adjusting hangers. Use a rod cutter or abrasive cutoff wheel to trim length cleanly; dress cut threads with a 5/16-18 die before installing nuts. Verify load ratings of all supporting hardware independently — the rod grade alone does not determine the assembly rating.
