Value Collection 45627 Threaded Rod 1-8 Unc 6 Ft Black Oxide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45627 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined to 1-8 UNC thread specifications with a right-hand thread direction. Cut from medium-carbon steel and finished with a black oxide coating, this rod measures 6 feet in overall length and weighs 13.34 pounds. It is designed for use in structural fastening, hanging, and anchoring applications across mechanical, industrial, and construction settings. Licensed contractors and tradespeople working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical installations rely on this type of rod for unistrut assemblies, equipment mounting, and pipe hanger systems.

This threaded rod is suited for both residential and commercial applications where a full-length, continuous-thread fastener is required. Common uses include suspended ceiling systems, pipe support assemblies, conduit strut runs, equipment pads, and anchor bolt extensions. The 1-8 UNC thread pattern is a standard coarse-thread designation, making it compatible with a wide range of hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts available in the field. The black oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC coarse-thread profile for broad hardware compatibility
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard for most fastening applications
• Medium-carbon steel construction for structural strength
• Black oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 6-foot full-length rod allows field cutting to required lengths
• Weighs 13.34 pounds, suitable for load-bearing support assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod for use with standard 1-8 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts in mechanical, structural, and trade installation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed tradespeople including HVAC mechanics, pipefitters, electricians, and general mechanical contractors. Use a pipe cutter, hacksaw, or abrasive cutoff wheel to cut the rod to length in the field; dress the cut end with a thread die before installing hardware. Always verify load ratings and fastener compatibility before use in overhead or suspended applications, and follow applicable codes such as the IBC or local mechanical codes for hanger spacing and support requirements.
