Value Collection 36691N Threaded Rod 5/8-11 72in Low Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36691N is a fully threaded rod used to fasten, hang, brace, and support components across mechanical, electrical, and structural applications. Machined from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this rod measures 72 inches in overall length and carries a 5/8-11 Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread in a right-hand direction. Threaded rods in this size and length are a standard item for licensed plumbers, electricians, HVAC installers, and general contractors who need field-cuttable, full-length hardware for hangers, anchors, and assemblies.

This rod is suited for residential and commercial installations where adjustable-length fastening is required. Common applications include pipe hangers, beam clamps, duct support systems, electrical conduit supports, and structural bracing. The 72-inch full-length format allows field cutting to exact required lengths, making it practical for job sites where multiple custom lengths are needed from a single piece of stock.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC thread profile for broad compatibility with standard nuts, couplings, and fittings
• Right-hand thread direction for use with conventional fastening hardware
• 72-inch overall length allows field-cutting to required dimensions
• Low-carbon steel construction provides strength and machinability
• Yellow zinc finish adds corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format replacement or new-installation threaded rod compatible with 5/8-11 UNC nuts, rod couplings, beam clamps, hanger assemblies, and other hardware conforming to the Unified National Coarse thread standard.

Installation Notes

Threaded rods are installed by plumbers, electricians, HVAC mechanics, and general contractors in accordance with applicable mechanical and building codes. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical systems before working in close proximity to live panels or conduit. Use a pipe cutter, hacksaw, or reciprocating saw with an appropriate metal-cutting blade to cut the rod to length, then dress cut ends with a thread die or file to remove burrs before installing nuts or couplings. Confirm that the support structure and anchoring hardware are rated for the intended load before final installation.
