Value Collection 36651 Threaded Rod 5/16-24 12in Low Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36651 is a 5/16-24 UNF fully threaded rod measuring 12 inches in overall length. Manufactured from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish coating, this rod provides corrosion resistance suitable for general fastening and hanging applications. The fine thread UNF profile offers greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread equivalents, making it well-suited for load-bearing connections where vibration resistance or precise tensioning is required. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades use threaded rod for suspending pipe hangers, conduit support straps, equipment mounts, and unistrut assemblies.

This threaded rod is intended for light to medium-duty suspension and fastening tasks in residential and commercial construction environments. Typical applications include suspended ceiling grid systems, pipe hanger rods, equipment support frames, and threaded anchor connections. The 5/16-24 UNF thread form mates with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts of the same specification. The yellow zinc finish provides a base level of corrosion protection appropriate for interior and semi-exposed installations.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF thread form for fine-pitch engagement and vibration resistance
• 12 inches overall length for standard hanger and support applications
• Low-carbon steel construction balances strength with ease of field cutting
• Yellow zinc finish coating provides corrosion resistance for interior use
• Fully threaded along entire length for flexible cut-to-length or direct installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-24 UNF threaded rod compatible with any hex nut, coupling nut, threaded insert, or pipe hanger fitting machined to the 5/16-24 UNF thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical tradespeople depending on the application. When cutting threaded rod to length in the field, use a thread-restoring die or file to clean the cut end before threading on hardware. Secure all supporting structure and verify load ratings before suspending equipment or piping. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for hanger spacing and load limits.
