Value Collection 36918 Threaded Rod 7/16-20 3 Ft Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36918 is a fully threaded rod in a 7/16-20 UNF (Unified National Fine) thread profile, manufactured from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish for corrosion resistance. At 3 feet in overall length, this rod provides a versatile fastening or hanging solution for a wide range of mechanical and structural applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians commonly use threaded rod for pipe hangers, equipment mounting, and support structures. The yellow zinc coating offers a basic level of protection against moisture and oxidation in typical indoor installations.

This threaded rod is well suited for residential and light commercial applications where a fine-thread fastener is required for secure load transfer. Common uses include hanging pipe support straps, mounting equipment to unistrut channel, anchoring structural supports, and assembling custom fastener assemblies. The UNF thread form provides tighter thread engagement than coarse-thread alternatives, making it a preferred choice when vibration resistance or precise torque control is a priority in the assembly.

Key Features

• 7/16-20 UNF thread profile for fine-thread engagement and vibration resistance
• 3-foot overall length provides a full stick for field-cutting to required dimensions
• Low-carbon steel construction offers strength suitable for general structural fastening
• Yellow zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Fully threaded end-to-end for maximum cut-to-length flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNF threaded rod suitable for use with standard 7/16-20 nuts, couplers, and threaded inserts in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC support applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC mechanics depending on the application. Always shut off and de-energize any nearby system before installing support hardware in close proximity to live components. Use a suitable thread-cutting tool or reciprocating saw with a metal blade to cut rod to length, and dress cut ends with a thread file or die to ensure clean thread engagement. Refer to applicable building codes and manufacturer hardware ratings to confirm load capacity for your specific hanging or support assembly.
