Value Collection 220971 Threaded Rod 5/8-11 Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 220971 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from Grade 316 stainless steel. It measures 72 inches in total length with a 5/8-11 UNC thread size and a right-hand thread direction. Grade 316 stainless offers strong resistance to chloride corrosion and elevated temperatures, making it a reliable choice for demanding environments. The plain finish leaves the rod uncoated, preserving the natural corrosion resistance of the base material. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this rod for suspended pipe hangers, equipment mounts, and threaded-fastener assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority.

This threaded rod suits commercial and industrial applications where moisture, chemicals, or salt exposure is a concern. Common uses include suspended ceiling systems, HVAC equipment hangers, pipe support systems, and structural fastening in marine or coastal environments. The 5/8-11 UNC thread pattern is a standard size compatible with widely available hex nuts, coupling nuts, and pipe hanger hardware. At 72 inches, the rod can be cut to length on site to fit specific installation requirements.

• General-purpose design suits pipe hangers, equipment mounts, and suspended systems

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod compatible with standard 5/8-11 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, turnbuckles, and pipe hanger hardware manufactured to UNC thread specifications.

Installation Notes

This rod is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors in accordance with applicable mechanical and building codes. Cut to length using a metal-cutting saw or angle grinder, and always dress cut threads with a thread-chasing die before installing hardware. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when cutting. Use correctly rated hardware rated for stainless steel to avoid galling during assembly.
