Value Collection 12604 Threaded Rod 1/4-20 6 Ft Brass Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12604 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from brass with a 1/4-20 UNC thread profile and a plain finish. At 6 feet in overall length, this rod provides continuous threading from end to end, allowing field cuts to any required length. The right-hand thread direction is standard for most fastening applications. Brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, making this rod a common choice in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC support applications where ferrous hardware is not suitable. Trade professionals typically cut this rod to length with a reciprocating saw or hacksaw and a die to clean the cut end.

This threaded rod is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a 1/4-20 UNC fastener is called for. Common uses include mounting brackets, hanging conduit or pipe, securing terminal lugs, and supporting lightweight mechanical equipment. The brass material makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or where galvanic compatibility with brass fittings and copper pipe is a priority. It ships as a single 6-foot rod per package.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread runs the full 6-foot length for maximum field flexibility
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and galvanic compatibility with copper and brass hardware
• Plain finish with no coating to interfere with thread engagement or conductivity
• General-purpose designation suits a wide range of support, hanging, and fastening tasks
• Single-piece 6-foot rod allows on-site cutting to any required length

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock threaded rod for any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC right-hand brass threaded rod.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a hacksaw or reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade. After cutting, use a 1/4-20 die to clean and restore thread on the cut end before installing nuts or couplings. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes, including NEC guidelines for hardware used in electrical installations. Wear appropriate eye protection when cutting.
