Value Collection 45622 Threaded Rod 3/8-16 6 Ft Black Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45622 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from medium-carbon steel with a black oxide finish. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread form with a right-hand thread direction and runs the full 6-foot length without interruption. Threaded rod of this type is a standard fastening component used to suspend conduit, duct, pipe hangers, and equipment supports from overhead structure. The black oxide coating provides a mild layer of corrosion resistance while maintaining dimensional tolerances along the thread profile. This rod is installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and pipefitters as part of suspended support assemblies in both new construction and retrofit work.

This rod is suited for general-purpose fastening and support applications in light commercial and residential construction. Typical uses include all-thread hanger rod assemblies, beam clamps, strut channel connections, and pipe support systems. The 6-foot length allows field cutting to required drop lengths. The UNC thread form is compatible with standard 3/8-16 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts commonly used across mechanical and electrical support systems.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for broad hardware compatibility
• Right-hand thread direction — standard for most fastening hardware
• Full 6-foot length allows on-site cutting to required drop
• Medium-carbon steel construction for structural integrity in support applications
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and clean appearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a reciprocating saw, angle grinder, or rod cutter, then re-chase threads at the cut end with a 3/8-16 die before assembly. Always de-energize circuits and shut off fluid systems before working overhead near existing services. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer torque guidelines when securing nuts and hardware to the rod. Electricians should reference NEC requirements for conduit hanger spacing; plumbers and HVAC mechanics should reference IPC and SMACNA guidelines as applicable.
