Value Collection 239445 Threaded Rod 1-8 304 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 239445 is a full-length threaded rod machined from Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel. It measures 36 inches in overall length with a 1-8 UNC thread specification, meaning one-inch nominal diameter with eight threads per inch. Grade 304 stainless provides solid corrosion resistance in general industrial and mechanical applications. The continuous external thread runs the full length of the rod, allowing it to be cut to any required length on the job. This rod is a general-purpose fastening component used by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and structural installers for hanging, anchoring, and bracing work.

This threaded rod is suited for residential and light commercial installations where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or where contact with moisture, chemicals, or dissimilar metals makes carbon steel a poor choice. Common applications include pipe hangers, strut channel assemblies, equipment mounting, conduit support, and general threaded fastener connections. It is sold as a single 36-inch length and can be cut with a reciprocating saw, angle grinder, or hacksaw fitted with a metal-cutting blade.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC thread profile — one-inch nominal diameter, 8 threads per inch
• 36-inch overall length — field-cuttable to required dimension
• Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Full-length continuous thread for maximum positional flexibility
• General-purpose designation suitable for a wide range of trade fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod compatible with standard 1-8 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, washers, and threaded rod hangers in that thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, or electricians depending on the application. Always verify that the selected thread size and material grade are appropriate for the load rating and environmental conditions of the installation. When cutting to length, use a thread-restoring die or file to clean the cut end before threading on hardware. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC, IMC, or NEC when using threaded rod for pipe or conduit support hangers.
