Value Collection 36679 Threaded Rod 1/2-13 3 Ft Low Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36679 is a 1/2-13 threaded rod measuring 3 feet in overall length, manufactured from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish coating. It features a right-hand, Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form throughout the full length of the rod. Threaded rod is a standard fastening component used across mechanical, structural, and trade applications to create tension assemblies, support suspended loads, or serve as a stud anchor in through-bolted connections. The yellow zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty environments. This rod is sized for use with standard 1/2-13 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and washers.

This threaded rod is appropriate for residential and commercial construction, mechanical support work, HVAC equipment hangers, pipe support assemblies, and general fabrication tasks. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and general contractors use full-thread rod stock when building strut systems, hanging duct, suspending conduit, or assembling custom support structures. The 1/2-13 thread size is one of the most common in trade work and accepts a wide range of off-the-shelf hardware.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard hardware
• 3-foot overall length suitable for full-thread applications or field cutting
• Low-carbon steel construction balances strength and workability
• Yellow zinc finish coating provides basic corrosion protection
• Full-length threading allows infinite adjustment along the rod

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC nuts, coupling nuts, washers, and threaded inserts. Suitable as a general-purpose threaded rod for mechanical, structural, and trade support applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod is typically installed by plumbers, electricians, and HVAC mechanics following applicable building and mechanical codes. Field cutting with a hacksaw or reciprocating saw is common; chase cut threads with a die after cutting to clear burrs. Use appropriate thread-locking hardware or lock nuts when vibration is a concern. Verify load ratings of the full assembly, including nuts, strut, and anchors, before hanging equipment.
