Value Collection 36915 Threaded Rod 1/4-28 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36915 is a full-length threaded rod in a 1/4-28 UNF thread form, manufactured from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish. At 3 feet long, this rod provides ample length for cutting to size or using as-is in fastening, hanging, and anchoring applications. The yellow zinc coating offers a baseline level of corrosion resistance suited to interior and light-duty environments. Licensed trades and general contractors reach for this type of rod when building support assemblies, suspending conduit, mounting hardware, or fabricating custom fastening solutions on the job site.

This threaded rod is suited for use in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC support work where a fine-thread UNF fastener is required. The 1/4-28 thread pitch is a fine-series designation, making it a fit for applications that require tighter thread engagement than a UNC equivalent. It is commonly used in light structural assemblies, panel mounting, and equipment support brackets in both residential and light commercial settings. The single-piece packaging makes it easy to stock individually or pull as needed for specific job tasks.

Key Features

• 1/4-28 UNF fine-thread form for tighter thread engagement and holding strength
• 3-foot overall length allows field cutting to custom dimensions
• Low-carbon steel construction balances machinability with tensile performance
• Yellow zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior applications
• Sold individually, suitable for single-piece project pulls or stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-28 UNF threaded rod for use with any compatible 1/4-28 nuts, couplers, threaded inserts, and hardware conforming to Unified Fine thread standards.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a reciprocating saw, hacksaw, or angle grinder fitted with a metal-cutting wheel, then chase threads at the cut end with a die to restore thread form before assembly. Use appropriately rated nuts and locking hardware per the requirements of the application and applicable mechanical or building codes. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting or threading steel rod. Confirm that yellow zinc finish is acceptable for the exposure environment before installation in damp or outdoor locations.
