Value Collection 36916 Threaded Rod 5/16-24 Unf 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36916 is a fully threaded rod with a 5/16-24 UNF thread form, supplied in a 3-foot length. Made from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for general fastening, hanging, and anchoring applications in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical installations. The fine unified thread pitch offers good holding strength in metal-to-metal fastening scenarios. Sold as a single rod, this item suits trade contractors who need a standard fully threaded length for field fabrication or assembly work.

Fully threaded rods in this configuration are commonly used in commercial and residential construction for suspending pipe hangers, conduit supports, HVAC duct strut systems, and light fixture assemblies. The 3-foot length allows field cutting to required dimensions. The yellow zinc coating makes it suitable for indoor and light-duty applications where mild corrosion protection is needed. Installers working in plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades regularly stock this size for general support and anchoring tasks.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF thread form for fine-pitch metal fastening applications
• 3-foot overall length allows field cutting to project-specific dimensions
• Low-carbon steel construction provides ductility and ease of cutting or bending on site
• Yellow zinc finish delivers light corrosion protection for indoor installations
• Sold individually for single-rod procurement flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fully threaded rod for use with 5/16-24 UNF nuts, coupling nuts, threaded inserts, and compatible pipe hanger or support hardware in general mechanical and construction fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rods of this type are installed by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC mechanics as structural support or hanging elements. Cut to length using a reciprocating saw, hacksaw, or abrasive cutoff tool, and chase cut threads with a die if needed after cutting. Always verify load ratings of the connecting hardware and fasteners per applicable codes such as the IPC, IFGC, or NEC before final installation. De-energize or depressurize any systems in the work area before installing support hardware overhead.
