Value Collection 36919 Threaded Rod 1/2-20 Unf 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36919 is a 1/2-20 UNF fully threaded rod measuring 3 feet in overall length, constructed from low-carbon steel with a yellow zinc finish coating. Threaded rods of this type are used to fasten, hang, brace, or anchor components across a wide range of mechanical and structural applications. The 1/2-20 thread designation indicates a half-inch nominal diameter with 20 threads per inch, conforming to the Unified National Fine (UNF) thread standard. This rod is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors wherever a continuous-thread fastener is required for load hanging or equipment mounting.

This threaded rod is suited for residential and light commercial applications including equipment hanger installations, pipe supports, duct hanging, electrical conduit support, and general mechanical assembly. The yellow zinc finish provides a base level of corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and sheltered environments. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 1/2-20 UNF hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts available from most trade suppliers.

Key Features

• 1/2-20 UNF thread form for compatibility with standard fine-thread hardware
• 3-foot overall length provides flexibility for cutting to required lengths on the job
• Low-carbon steel construction offers good ductility and ease of cutting or threading
• Yellow zinc finish coating for basic corrosion protection in interior applications
• Fully threaded along the entire length for maximum adjustability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental fastener for use with 1/2-20 UNF threaded hardware including hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded rod hangers in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical support installations.

Installation Notes

This threaded rod is typically cut to length using a reciprocating saw, hacksaw, or angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. Deburr cut ends before threading on nuts or couplings to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes, including SMACNA hanger standards and NEC support requirements, for proper spacing and load ratings. Use appropriately rated nuts and washers matched to the 1/2-20 UNF thread specification.
