Value Collection 239482 Threaded Rod 1-8 Unc 6 Ft Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 239482 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a 1-8 UNC thread specification and a plain finish. The rod measures 6 feet in overall length and carries a right-hand thread direction. Grade 316 stainless steel provides elevated corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this rod appropriate for wet, coastal, or chemically aggressive environments. It is a standard fastening component used by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors to suspend pipe hangers, strut channel, equipment supports, and similar hardware from structural members.

This threaded rod is suited for both commercial and residential installations wherever a full-length, field-cuttable rod is needed. Typical applications include hanging pipe from overhead structure, anchoring strut channel assemblies, and assembling bolted connections in mechanical and electrical rooms. The 6-foot length allows the installer to cut multiple shorter sections from a single rod, reducing material waste on jobs requiring various drop lengths.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• 1-8 UNC right-hand thread pattern for compatibility with standard UNC nuts, couplings, and hardware
• 6-foot full length provides flexibility to cut custom drop lengths on site
• Plain finish with no coating that could mask thread fit or interfere with torque readings
• General-purpose rod type suitable across mechanical, plumbing, and electrical support applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-8 UNC nuts, couplings, and threaded fittings in general-purpose suspension and support applications. Confirm Grade 316 material compatibility with project specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or electricians following applicable mechanical and building codes. Cut the rod to the required length using a reciprocating saw or angle grinder rated for stainless steel, and dress threads after cutting to ensure proper nut engagement. Use fasteners and hardware of compatible material grade to prevent galvanic corrosion at contact points. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical systems in the work area before performing overhead installation work.
