Value Collection 45623 Threaded Rod 1/2-13 Unc 6 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45623 is a general-purpose threaded rod in 1/2-13 UNC thread size, measuring 6 feet in overall length and manufactured from medium-carbon steel with a black oxide finish. The right-hand thread profile follows the Unified National Coarse standard, making it compatible with standard 1/2-13 hardware including hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts. At 3.15 pounds per rod, it carries enough mass for structural and mechanical fastening tasks. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and general contractors use threaded rod to hang pipe, ductwork, conduit, equipment supports, and all-thread assemblies in both new construction and retrofit work.

This threaded rod is suited for light structural, mechanical, and trade-installation applications in residential and commercial settings. Common uses include pipe hanger assemblies, unistrut drop rods, equipment mounting frames, anchor bolt extensions, and tie-rod applications. The 6-foot length allows field cutting to required lengths with a hacksaw or abrasive cutoff tool. The black oxide finish provides a mild level of corrosion resistance appropriate for dry or sheltered interior environments.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread size compatible with standard 1/2-13 hardware
• 6-foot overall length for field cutting to required dimensions
• Medium-carbon steel construction for reliable tensile strength in general-purpose fastening
• Right-hand thread direction for use with standard nuts and threaded fittings
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance in sheltered interior environments
• Unified National Coarse thread form for broad hardware compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/2-13 UNC threaded rod for use with standard 1/2-13 hex nuts, coupling nuts, rod hangers, and threaded inserts in typical trade installation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, plumbers, or HVAC mechanics following applicable codes such as the NEC, IPC, or IMC for supported systems. Cut to length using a hacksaw or abrasive cutoff saw, then dress the cut end with a thread die to restore full thread profile before installing hardware. Always use appropriately rated hardware and hanger assemblies rated for the intended load. Verify that the black oxide finish is adequate for the exposure environment before use in damp or corrosive locations.
