Value Collection 221045 Threaded Rod 5/16-18 36 in Ss Grade 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 221045 is a fully threaded rod in 5/16-18 unified coarse thread, measuring 36 inches in overall length. Manufactured from Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel, this rod provides solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Fully threaded rods serve as versatile fastening and hanging elements used across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and structural applications. Licensed tradespeople and contractors rely on this type of rod when building unistrut hanger assemblies, suspending pipe or conduit, anchoring equipment, or fabricating custom support structures. The 5/16-18 thread profile is compatible with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts of the same designation.

This threaded rod is suited for general-purpose use in residential and commercial construction and mechanical systems. Common applications include HVAC duct and equipment hanging, plumbing pipe support, electrical conduit suspension, and light structural bracing. The 36-inch length allows field cutting to the required length using a reciprocating saw, angle grinder, or hacksaw. Grade 304 stainless steel makes this rod appropriate for installations where mild corrosion exposure, moisture, or washdown conditions are a factor.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fully threaded rod compatible with standard 5/16-18 hex nuts, coupling nuts, washers, and threaded inserts. Suitable for use with unistrut channel, pipe clamps, and hanger hardware sized for 5/16-18 fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, or general contractors depending on the application. Before cutting or installing, verify the required load rating for the hanging or support application and confirm the rod diameter and thread pitch match the receiving hardware. Use a thread die to clean threads after field cutting to ensure proper nut engagement. Follow applicable codes such as the International Mechanical Code or NEC when using threaded rod for equipment or conduit support.
