Value Collection 07113 Threaded Rod 1/2-13 Alloy Steel B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 07113 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from Grade B7 alloy steel with a yellow zinc finish. It measures 36 inches in overall length and features a 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread form. Grade B7 alloy steel is a heat-treated chromium-molybdenum material commonly specified in high-strength fastening applications where standard mild steel hardware is insufficient. The yellow zinc coating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for interior and light-duty industrial use. At 1.591 pounds, this rod is ready to cut to length on the job.

This threaded rod is used across mechanical, structural, and trade applications where a long continuous fastener is required. Common uses include hanging HVAC duct and equipment, suspending pipe and conduit, anchoring structural assemblies, and fabricating custom stud configurations. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC installers, electricians, and general maintenance trades all use this type of hardware regularly. It is suited for both residential and commercial jobsite work where a Grade B7 strength specification is required or preferred over lower-grade alternatives.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction provides higher tensile strength than standard Grade 2 or Grade 5 hardware
• 1/2-13 UNC thread form is one of the most common inch-series thread specifications for trade fastening hardware
• 36-inch length allows field cutting to multiple shorter lengths from a single rod
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard coupling nuts, hex nuts, and threaded inserts
• Yellow zinc finish adds basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC nuts, coupling nuts, threaded inserts, and rod hangers. Suitable as a general-purpose replacement or new-installation threaded rod wherever a 1/2-13 UNC Grade B7 alloy steel specification is called out.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod is typically installed by electricians, HVAC mechanics, plumbers, and pipefitters using standard hand tools including pipe cutters, reciprocating saws, or abrasive cut-off tools. Always de-burr cut ends before threading on hardware to prevent thread damage. When used for overhead suspension, verify that the anchor point, rod, and all connected hardware meet the load requirements of the applicable code, such as SMACNA guidelines for duct support or NEC requirements for conduit support. Wear appropriate eye protection when cutting rod to length.
