Value Collection 36917 3/8-24 Unf Threaded Rod 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36917 is a 3/8-24 UNF fully threaded rod measuring 3 feet in overall length, manufactured from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish coating. Threaded rod of this type is a standard fastening and hanging component used across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades for suspending pipe hangers, strut channel, equipment supports, and structural assemblies. The 3/8-24 designation indicates a Unified National Fine thread pitch, which provides finer thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-series threads. Licensed tradespeople and contractors reach for threaded rod when building rigid, adjustable support systems in new construction and retrofit applications.

This threaded rod is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a 3-foot length covers common hanger drops and support runs. Typical applications include HVAC duct and equipment suspension, plumbing pipe hanger assemblies, electrical conduit support runs, and general mechanical room rigging. The yellow zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance appropriate for interior dry or semi-exposed environments. The UNF thread form is compatible with standard 3/8-24 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF thread form for fine-pitch engagement with compatible hardware
• 3-foot overall length suits common hanger drop and support applications
• Low-carbon steel construction provides solid tensile strength for mechanical support use
• Yellow zinc finish coating offers corrosion resistance in interior environments
• Fully threaded along entire length for maximum adjustment flexibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-24 UNF-threaded nuts, couplings, and other compatible fastening hardware in mechanical support and suspension assemblies.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, or general contractors as part of support and suspension systems. Cut to length using a reciprocating saw or abrasive cutoff tool, then clean cut threads with a die or file before installing nuts. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for load ratings and spacing when using threaded rod in hanger or support assemblies. Always de-energize nearby electrical systems and depressurize piping before working in close proximity to live systems.
