Value Collection 220924 Threaded Rod 1/2-13 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 220924 is a general-purpose threaded rod in 1/2-13 UNC thread size, machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a plain finish and right-hand thread direction. At 36 inches in length and weighing approximately 1.605 pounds, this rod is suited for structural hanging, bracing, and fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior resistance to chlorides and marine environments compared to Grade 304, making it a common choice in coastal, chemical processing, and wet mechanical installations. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work frequently use all-thread rod for pipe hangers, duct support, and equipment mounting.

This threaded rod is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical installations where a corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. Typical uses include suspending pipe or conduit from structural members, anchoring mechanical equipment, and assembling unistrut or trapeze-style support systems. The 36-inch length can be cut on site to the required dimension. Its plain finish makes it compatible with standard stainless steel coupling nuts, hex nuts, and washers used in trade fastener systems.

Key Features

• 36-inch overall length — can be field-cut to required dimensions
• Plain finish with no coating that could interfere with mechanical or chemical compatibility
• General-purpose design suitable for hanging, bracing, and structural fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use with standard 1/2-13 UNC stainless steel nuts, coupling nuts, and washers in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical support applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or electricians depending on the supported system. Cut to length using a hacksaw or cut-off wheel rated for stainless steel, and deburr cut ends before threading on hardware. Torque fasteners per the applicable mechanical or structural specification for the job. Follow applicable codes including IFGC, IPC, or NEC for support spacing requirements based on pipe, conduit, or duct type.
