Value Collection 36920 Threaded Rod 5/8-18 Unf 36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36920 is a fully threaded rod in 5/8-18 UNF thread configuration, manufactured from low carbon steel with a yellow zinc-plated finish. At 36 inches in overall length, this rod is used as a fastening and suspension component across a wide range of mechanical, structural, and trade applications. The 5/8-18 thread designation indicates a Unified Fine thread pitch, which provides finer thread engagement compared to coarse-thread equivalents. The yellow zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for dry and mildly corrosive indoor environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors all work with threaded rod as a standard supply item.

This threaded rod is commonly used for hanging pipe hangers, conduit strut, duct supports, equipment mounts, and structural tie-rod assemblies. The 36-inch length is a standard cut that fits typical overhead suspension applications without additional cutting in many installations. Fine-thread UNF rods are preferred in applications where greater clamping force or thread engagement in thinner materials is required. Suitable for residential and light commercial mechanical installations.

Key Features

• 5/8-18 UNF fine thread provides stronger thread engagement compared to coarse-thread equivalents
• 36-inch overall length suits standard overhead suspension and tie-rod applications
• Low carbon steel construction offers reliable tensile strength for mechanical fastening use
• Yellow zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor environments
• Fully threaded along the entire 36-inch length for maximum installation flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF threaded rod for use with 5/8-18 compatible nuts, couplers, pipe hangers, strut fittings, and suspension hardware used in mechanical and structural trade applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians during rough-in phases for overhead support work. Always ensure the anchor point, bracket, or insert is rated for the intended load before hanging equipment or pipe. Use appropriately sized nuts, washers, and locking hardware to prevent loosening under vibration. Cutting to length with a reciprocating saw or hacksaw is common; deburr cut ends before threading on hardware.
