Value Collection 56075 Alloy Steel Threaded Rod 5/16-18 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 56075 is a general-purpose alloy steel threaded rod measuring 3 feet (36 inches) in length with a 5/16-18 UNC thread form and right-hand thread direction. Manufactured to ASTM A193 Grade B7 alloy steel specification, this rod carries a black oxide finish that provides a base level of corrosion resistance in dry or mildly protected environments. At 0.59 pounds, it is well suited for light-to-medium duty fastening, hanging, and anchoring applications. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and general contractors reach for this style of rod when assembling threaded assemblies, pipe hangers, unistrut runs, or equipment mounts.

This threaded rod is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction and mechanical applications. It performs in structural hanging, HVAC duct support, electrical conduit support, and general fabrication scenarios where a continuous 5/16-18 UNC thread pattern is required across the full 36-inch length. The black oxide finish is compatible with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and washers that share the 5/16-18 thread specification.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for reliable tensile strength in threaded fastening applications
• Full 36-inch (3-foot) threaded length provides maximum cut-to-length flexibility on the job
• 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread mates with standard inch-series nuts and couplings
• Black oxide finish adds surface protection and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies
• Lightweight at 0.59 pounds, easy to handle and transport on the job site

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod compatible with standard 5/16-18 UNC right-hand threaded hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts used in typical mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools including adjustable wrenches or nut drivers rated for 5/16-18 fasteners. Cut to length with a reciprocating saw, hacksaw, or rod cutter, and chase the cut end with a die to restore clean thread engagement before installing hardware. Follow applicable building codes and load ratings when using threaded rod in structural hanger or seismic brace applications. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical equipment before working in panel or conduit spaces where this rod is being installed.
