Value Collection 34MCNN0516F061 Threaded Rod 5/16-18 6ft SS304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34MCNN0516F061 is a 5/16-18 threaded rod machined from Grade 304 (18-8) stainless steel and supplied in a 6-foot length. Fully threaded along its entire length, this rod is suited for general-purpose fastening, hanging, and anchoring applications where corrosion resistance is required. Grade 304 stainless steel provides solid resistance to oxidation and many common chemicals, making it a dependable choice in environments where carbon steel hardware would degrade. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals use fully threaded rod when a continuous thread is needed for adjustment, suspension, or custom-length fastener assemblies cut to fit on the job.

This threaded rod is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial construction, mechanical rooms, plumbing hangers, electrical conduit support, HVAC equipment mounting, and general structural fastening. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is a common coarse-thread designation compatible with standard 5/16-18 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts. At 6 feet, the rod can be cut to multiple shorter lengths as the application requires, reducing waste and the need to stock multiple sizes.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5/16-18 threaded nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts. Compatible with common pipe hangers, strut channel, and suspension hardware machined or rated for the 5/16-18 UNC thread designation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, or HVAC mechanics as part of a support or anchoring assembly. Use a rod cutter, hacksaw, or angle grinder with a cutoff wheel to cut to length; dress cut ends with a thread file or die to clean the lead threads before assembling hardware. Always verify that mating nuts and hardware share the same thread designation and material compatibility to avoid galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for hanger spacing and load ratings.
