Value Collection 07136 5/8-11 Threaded Rod 72in Alloy Steel Grade B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 07136 is a 5/8-11 general-purpose threaded rod made from Grade B7 alloy steel and finished with a yellow zinc coating for corrosion resistance. At 72 inches in length and weighing approximately 5.05 pounds, this rod is suited for heavy-duty fastening, anchoring, and structural applications across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installations. The Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form and right-hand thread direction are standard for most domestic fastener hardware and fittings. Licensed contractors and tradespeople working on equipment hangers, pipe supports, unistrut assemblies, or threaded anchor systems will find this rod meets common jobsite requirements.

This threaded rod is appropriate for both residential and commercial applications wherever a full-length 5/8-11 UNC rod is required. Common uses include suspended ceiling grid systems, pipe hanger assemblies, equipment mounting frames, and structural tie-rod applications. The Grade B7 alloy steel designation indicates a higher-tensile-strength material compared to plain mild steel rod, making it a preferred choice in mechanical rooms, industrial settings, and load-bearing hanger configurations where elevated strength is specified.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction provides higher tensile strength than standard mild steel rod
• 5/8-11 UNC thread profile is compatible with standard domestic nuts, couplers, and threaded inserts
• Right-hand thread direction matches conventional fastener hardware
• Yellow zinc finish offers baseline corrosion protection in dry and moderately humid environments
• 72-inch full-length rod can be field-cut to required lengths with a hacksaw or threading machine
• Single-piece packaging suits individual jobsite use or small-quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod compatible with standard 5/8-11 UNC nuts, hex couplers, rod hangers, clevis brackets, and threaded inserts commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded rod for equipment support or pipe hanger systems is typically performed by licensed mechanical, plumbing, or electrical contractors in accordance with applicable building codes including the International Mechanical Code and NEC where relevant. Rod should be cut to length using appropriate metal-cutting tools, and cut ends should be deburred before installing hardware. Always confirm that the hanger assembly load rating is appropriate for the supported equipment weight before final installation. Do not use this rod in applications requiring stainless steel or galvanized material where corrosion resistance beyond yellow zinc is specified.
