Value Collection 221026 Threaded Rod 3/8-16 6 Ft 304 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 221026 is a fully threaded rod in 3/8-16 thread size, manufactured from Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel. At 6 feet in overall length, this rod provides a continuous thread profile along its entire length, making it suitable for tension, compression, and hanging applications in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and general construction work. The 304 stainless steel composition provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments. The 3/8-16 designation indicates a 3/8-inch nominal diameter with 16 threads per inch in Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form.

This threaded rod is a general-purpose fastening component used across residential and commercial installations. Common applications include pipe hangers, conduit supports, ductwork suspension, equipment mounting, and structural anchoring. It is regularly cut to length in the field using a hack saw, angle grinder, or appropriate threading die. Trade professionals including HVAC installers, pipefitters, plumbers, and electricians use this rod with standard 3/8-16 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and washers.

Key Features

• Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form compatible with standard 3/8-16 hardware
• 6-foot full-length continuous threading allows field cutting to any required length
• General-purpose designation suits a wide range of support and fastening applications
• Single-piece packaging for straightforward inventory and jobsite handling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod compatible with standard 3/8-16 UNC nuts, couplings, anchors, and hardware used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical support applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, or electricians depending on the application. Cut to length using a hack saw, reciprocating saw, or angle grinder, and deburr cut ends before threading hardware onto the rod. Support spacing and load requirements should conform to applicable mechanical codes such as SMACNA, ASME B31, or local building codes. Use stainless steel nuts and hardware when pairing with this rod to avoid galvanic corrosion in corrosive or wet environments.
