Value Collection 56074 Threaded Rod 1/4-20 Unc 36 Inch Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 56074 is a general-purpose threaded rod machined from 304 stainless steel with a 1/4-20 UNC thread profile and right-hand thread direction. At 36 inches in overall length, it provides a full 3-foot span suitable for a wide range of fastening, hanging, and anchoring applications. The UNC thread form is the standard unified coarse thread used across North American trade work, making hardware sourcing straightforward. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. A black oxide finish is applied to the exterior surface. The rod weighs approximately 0.371 pounds and measures 0.25 inches in diameter.

This threaded rod is suited for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC support work where a continuous length of externally threaded fastener stock is required. Common applications include suspending pipe hangers, conduit strut systems, HVAC equipment support brackets, and equipment mounting assemblies. The 1/4-20 thread size is compatible with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, washers, and threaded inserts widely available in trade supply. It is used by plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors in both light commercial and residential construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed tradespeople or experienced maintenance personnel using standard hand tools including adjustable wrenches, thread-cutting dies, or bolt cutters for field trimming to length. Power down or de-energize any electrical or mechanical systems before working in the installation area. When used in suspended support applications, verify that load ratings of the connected hardware and anchor points meet applicable code requirements for the assembly. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
