Value Collection 220993 Threaded Rod 1/2-13 72in 304 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 220993 is a full-length threaded rod in 1/2-13 thread size, manufactured from Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel. At 72 inches (6 feet) in overall length, this rod is used for anchoring, hanging, bracing, and fastening applications across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and structural trades. The 1/2-13 designation indicates a 1/2-inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch, conforming to Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. Grade 304 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance suitable for damp, wet, or mildly corrosive environments. This rod ships as a single 6-foot length and is a general-purpose fastening component stocked for trade and industrial use.

This threaded rod is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical installations where all-thread fasteners are required. Common applications include suspension of pipe hangers, HVAC ductwork supports, conduit strut systems, and structural bracing assemblies. The 72-inch length allows field cutting to custom lengths. Grade 304 stainless construction makes it well-suited for installations in humid environments such as mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, rooftop equipment mounts, and pool mechanical areas where carbon steel would be prone to corrosion.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread form — standard sizing compatible with widely available hex nuts, coupling nuts, and washers
• Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 72-inch (6-foot) full length allows on-site cutting to required dimensions
• General-purpose designation suits a broad range of mechanical, plumbing, and structural fastening applications
• Single-piece unit — no assembly required

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC threaded hardware including hex nuts, coupling nuts, threaded inserts, and pipe hanger assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, or structural trades depending on the application. When cutting to length in the field, use appropriate thread-cutting or abrasive tools and deburr cut ends before threading hardware. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes — including IFGC, IPC, and NEC provisions for equipment support and hanging — for your jurisdiction. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting stainless steel rod, as cut edges are sharp.
