Value Collection 221001 Threaded Rod 1/4-20 36in Ss Grade 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 221001 is a 1/4-20 threaded rod measuring 36 inches in overall length, manufactured from Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel. This fully threaded rod provides continuous thread engagement along its entire length, making it well suited for use as a fastening component, hanger rod, or structural connector in a wide range of trade applications. The 1/4-20 unified coarse thread form is compatible with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts. Grade 304 stainless steel provides solid corrosion resistance in moderately harsh environments, making it a reliable choice for installations where mild moisture exposure or chemical contact is a concern.

This threaded rod is used across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installations wherever a continuous-thread fastener is required. Typical applications include hanging pipe, conduit, or ductwork from overhead structure, assembling rod hangers, securing equipment supports, and general fabrication work. Its 36-inch length allows field cutting to the required dimension, reducing the need to stock multiple shorter lengths. This rod is appropriate for both residential and light commercial work.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread runs the full 36-inch length for maximum cut-to-length flexibility
• Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moisture-prone environments
• General purpose designation suits a broad range of fastening and hanging applications
• Standard 1/4-20 thread form works with widely available nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts
• Sold individually, allowing single-piece procurement for small jobs or repairs

Compatibility

Designed as a general purpose 1/4-20 threaded rod for use with any standard 1/4-20 threaded hardware including hex nuts, coupling nuts, rod hangers, and threaded inserts used in mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC support applications.

Installation Notes

This rod is typically installed by electricians, pipefitters, plumbers, or HVAC technicians using standard hand tools including hex nuts, wrenches, and a hacksaw or cutoff wheel for field trimming. When cutting stainless steel, use a blade rated for stainless to avoid work hardening and poor cut quality. Apply thread-locking compound or jam nuts where vibration may loosen fasteners over time. Follow applicable mechanical codes for hanger spacing and load ratings when using this rod in pipe or duct suspension applications.
