Value Collection 36678 Threaded Rod 7/16-14 3 Foot

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36678 is a 3-foot fully threaded rod with a 7/16-14 UNC thread profile and right-hand thread direction. Machined from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish for moderate corrosion resistance, this rod is used to hang, brace, anchor, or tension components across a wide range of mechanical and structural applications. The 7/16-14 designation indicates a 7/16-inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse pitch. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades rely on fully threaded rod as an all-thread fastener for pipe hangers, strut channel assemblies, equipment mounting, and overhead support systems.

This threaded rod suits residential and light commercial installations where standard UNC fastener sizes are specified. Common applications include suspending pipe hangers from structural members, securing strut channel runs, anchoring duct support assemblies, and building custom mounting frameworks. The 3-foot length is compatible with standard field-cut applications where the installer sizes the rod to fit using a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or abrasive cutoff tool before threading on nuts and washers.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread profile for broad compatibility with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and washers
• Right-hand thread direction — tightens clockwise, consistent with standard fastener convention
• Low-carbon steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for typical hanger and support loads
• Yellow zinc finish offers mild corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and dry-area installations
• 3-foot overall length allows field cutting to required drop or span
• Fully threaded along the entire length — no unthreaded shank to work around

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 7/16-14 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, rod hangers, and strut channel hardware in typical mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC mechanics, and electricians in accordance with applicable mechanical and building codes. When cutting to length, use a thread die or file to clean the cut end before threading on hardware to prevent nut cross-threading. Torque all nuts against a flat washer or locking nut to secure the assembly. For overhead or structural applications, verify that anchorage points and load ratings meet local code requirements before hanging equipment or pipe.
