Value Collection 56004 Alloy Steel Threaded Rod 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 56004 is a general-purpose alloy steel threaded rod cut to 2 feet in length with a 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread profile. Manufactured from Grade B7 alloy steel and finished with a yellow zinc coating for corrosion resistance, this rod is suited for structural fastening, hanging, and anchoring applications across mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trade work. At 1.063 pounds, it provides substantial tensile strength in a manageable form factor. Licensed contractors and tradespeople use threaded rod of this specification when assembling pipe hangers, unistrut assemblies, equipment mounts, and seismic bracing.

This threaded rod is appropriate for both commercial and residential installations where a standard 1/2-13 UNC fastener is required. Typical applications include pipe hanger assemblies, duct support systems, electrical conduit supports, and equipment anchorage. The full-length thread along the 24-inch rod allows field cutting to any required length, making it versatile across a range of rough-in and finish installation scenarios. It is commonly specified when project drawings or codes call for B7-grade all-thread rod.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in structural fastening applications
• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread profile — compatible with standard nuts and couplings in that thread class
• Yellow zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for typical indoor and moderate-environment use
• Full 24-inch length with continuous threading allows on-site trimming to required dimensions
• Weighs 1.063 pounds — manageable for single-installer handling during overhead or in-wall work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-installation threaded rod compatible with standard 1/2-13 UNC nuts, couplings, beam clamps, and pipe hanger hardware used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or electricians depending on the supported system. Use appropriate thread-cutting oil and a die or reciprocating saw with a metal blade when field-cutting to length, and dress cut ends to remove burrs before threading nuts. Torque fasteners per the hardware manufacturer specifications and applicable code — consult IFGC, IPC, or NEC support-spacing tables as relevant to the connected system. Ensure mating nuts and couplings are the same thread standard (UNC) to avoid cross-threading.
