Value Collection 17908 M20 Metric Threaded Rod 1 Meter Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 17908 is an M20 metric threaded rod manufactured from steel with an oil finish coating. At 1 meter in overall length, this rod is sized for structural fastening, rigging, and general-purpose mechanical assemblies. The thread direction is right hand with a UNC thread type, making it compatible with standard UNC fastening hardware. It is a go-to stock item for fabricators, pipefitters, millwrights, and general contractors who need reliable all-thread rod material cut to a full-meter length without the need for field modification.

This threaded rod is suited for general-purpose industrial and commercial fastening applications. Typical uses include hanging pipe, duct, and conduit from overhead structure, anchoring equipment bases, and assembling threaded connections through clamped or bolted assemblies. The oil finish provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and handling. This rod is used in both shop fabrication and field installation across mechanical, structural, and electrical trades.

Key Features

• M20 thread size for compatibility with standard metric and UNC hardware
• 1 meter overall length for full-length or cut-to-size use
• Steel construction for strength in structural and mechanical fastening
• Right hand thread direction, standard for most fastening applications
• Oil finish coating provides basic protection during storage and handling
• General-purpose classification suitable for a wide range of trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric threaded rod compatible with M20 nuts, couplers, and threaded fastening hardware in standard UNC thread form.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by pipefitters, millwrights, electricians, or structural tradespeople depending on the application. Cut to length using a reciprocating saw or abrasive cutoff tool rated for steel, and chase cut ends with an M20 die to restore thread profile before assembly. Verify that all mating hardware shares the same thread type and pitch before installing. Follow applicable codes such as AISC standards or local mechanical codes when using threaded rod in load-bearing or pipe-hanging applications.
