Value Collection 45626 Threaded Rod 7/8-9 6 Ft Carbon Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45626 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from medium-carbon steel with a black oxide finish. It carries a 7/8-9 UNC thread profile cut in the right-hand direction and runs the full 6-foot length, giving installers maximum cut-to-length flexibility on the job. At 10.15 pounds, the rod is substantial enough for structural hanging and support applications. Black oxide provides a moderate level of corrosion inhibition and reduces light reflection in exposed installations. This type of threaded rod is a staple fastener for HVAC equipment hangers, pipe support strut systems, and general mechanical and electrical trade installations.

This threaded rod is suited for residential and commercial applications where a full-length, field-cuttable fastener is required. Common uses include suspending duct hangers, conduit support strut, pipe trapeze assemblies, and equipment mounting frames from structural members. The 7/8-9 UNC thread pattern accepts standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and strut channel nuts widely stocked in trade supply. The rod arrives full-length at 6 feet, allowing the installing technician to cut it to the required drop length on site using a reciprocating saw, band saw, or abrasive cutoff tool.

Key Features

• 7/8-9 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard hex and coupling hardware
• Full 6-foot length allows field cutting to any required drop or span
• Medium-carbon steel construction provides high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish reduces surface oxidation and light glare in exposed installations
• General-purpose rod type suited for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support assemblies
• Single-piece packaging simplifies procurement for individual hang points or small jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod for use with standard 7/8-9 UNC nuts, washers, coupling nuts, and channel strut fittings used in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, journeyman plumbers, or electricians as part of a pipe, duct, or conduit support system. Cut the rod to length using appropriate metal-cutting equipment and deburr all cut ends before threading on nuts to prevent thread damage. Consult applicable codes such as IFGC, IPC, or NEC for minimum support spacing and load requirements specific to the system being hung. Always verify the structural member receiving the rod anchor is rated for the intended suspended load before torquing fasteners.
