Value Collection 56077 Alloy Steel Threaded Rod 1/2-13 36in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 56077 is a general-purpose alloy steel threaded rod measuring 36 inches in overall length with a 1/2-13 UNC thread profile and right-hand thread direction. Manufactured to ASTM A193 Grade B7 material specifications, the rod carries a black oxide finish that provides mild corrosion resistance in dry or interior environments. At 1.577 pounds, it is well suited for suspension, anchoring, and fastening applications where continuous thread is required. Licensed plumbers, electricians, HVAC installers, and general contractors rely on this type of rod for pipe hangers, equipment mounts, and structural tie-rod assemblies.

This threaded rod is used across residential and commercial construction and mechanical trades wherever a full-length externally threaded fastener is needed. Typical applications include pipe hanger rod systems in HVAC and plumbing rough-in, equipment mounting frames, unistrut assemblies, and concrete anchor bolt extensions. The 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread pitch is the standard choice for most North American general-purpose fastening applications and mates with standard 1/2-13 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and rod hangers.

Key Features

• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding mechanical applications
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread profile compatible with standard North American hardware
• Right-hand thread direction for use with conventional nuts and fittings
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and consistent appearance
• 36-inch full-length rod allows field cutting to required lengths
• Lightweight at 1.577 pounds for easy single-person handling and installation

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or electricians as part of pipe or equipment hanger systems. Cut to length using a reciprocating saw, hacksaw, or abrasive cutoff wheel rated for alloy steel; always dress cut threads with a thread file or die before assembly. Torque all nuts evenly and verify that the installed assembly meets applicable code requirements, including IFGC, IPC, or NEC support-spacing provisions where relevant. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting or grinding.
