Value Collection 07093 Threaded Rod 3/8-16 3ft Alloy Steel B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 07093 is a general-purpose threaded rod manufactured from Grade B7 alloy steel with a yellow zinc finish. At 36 inches in length with a 3/8-16 UNC thread profile and right-hand thread direction, this rod is suited for fastening, anchoring, and hanging applications across mechanical, HVAC, and industrial installations. Grade B7 alloy steel provides higher tensile strength than standard mild steel, making it appropriate for elevated-stress assemblies. The yellow zinc coating offers corrosion resistance for use in typical indoor mechanical room and utility environments. The rod weighs 0.87 pounds.

This threaded rod sees regular use in HVAC duct hanging, pipe support, and equipment mounting applications. Installers cut it to length in the field using a hacksaw or abrasive cutoff tool to fit standard strut channel, beam clamps, and hanger brackets. It is compatible with 3/8-16 UNC nuts, washers, and threaded inserts. Trade professionals in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical contracting routinely specify Grade B7 rod where standard zinc-plated mild steel rods do not meet load or temperature requirements.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for higher tensile strength versus standard mild steel rod
• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard hardware
• 36-inch overall length allows field cutting to required hanger or support dimensions
• Yellow zinc finish provides corrosion resistance in indoor mechanical environments
• General-purpose designation suits a wide range of hanging, anchoring, and fastening tasks

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC nuts, coupling nuts, washers, and strut channel hardware in general-purpose mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing support installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors. Cut to length using a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or abrasive cutoff wheel, then dress the cut end with a thread die to restore full thread engagement before assembly. Always de-energize and de-pressurize any system before installing or adjusting support hardware in an energized or pressurized environment. Consult local mechanical codes for minimum rod diameter and hanger spacing requirements applicable to the specific pipe or duct size being supported.
