Value Collection 242313 Threaded Rod 1-8 Unc 3 Ft Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 242313 is a full-length threaded rod machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a 1-8 UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread form. At 3 feet long and weighing 6.72 pounds, this rod is suited for general-purpose fastening, hanging, and anchoring applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Grade 316 stainless steel provides enhanced resistance to chlorides and marine environments compared to Grade 304, making it a common choice for chemical processing, food service, marine, and outdoor structural installations. The plain finish requires no additional coating. Right-hand thread direction follows standard fastening conventions and is compatible with any UNC 1-8 nut or coupling.

This threaded rod is used across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC pipe and equipment hanging, plumbing support assemblies, electrical conduit support systems, and structural framing connections. It is well suited for installations in corrosive or high-moisture environments such as coastal construction, wastewater facilities, or food-grade processing areas where 316 stainless steel is a specification requirement. Contractors, pipefitters, and general tradespeople cut this rod to length on site using a hacksaw or reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel for superior chloride and corrosion resistance
• 1-8 UNC thread form — compatible with standard 1-8 UNC nuts and couplings
• Right-hand thread direction follows industry-standard fastening convention
• 3-foot overall length allows on-site cutting to required dimension
• Plain finish with no additional coating — no risk of coating delamination in wet environments
• General-purpose rod type suitable for hanging, anchoring, and structural tie-rod applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-8 UNC threaded nuts, couplings, and hex collars. Suitable as a general-purpose threaded rod for HVAC, plumbing, and structural support applications requiring Grade 316 stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople including pipefitters, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC mechanics depending on the application. Use thread-cutting oil and a standard die if re-threading a cut end. When cutting to length, deburr the cut end thoroughly to ensure full thread engagement with mating hardware. Consult applicable building codes and load tables before specifying rod diameter and grade for structural hanging applications.
