Value Collection CD557925 Threaded Rod 1/2-13 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD557925 is a 1/2-13 threaded rod cut to a 3-foot overall length, manufactured from low-carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Threaded rod stock is a fundamental fastening component used in mechanical, structural, and utility installations across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades. This rod features Unified National Coarse (UNC) threading with a right-hand thread direction, making it compatible with standard 1/2-13 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts. The bright finish indicates no plating or coating has been applied, which is typical for indoor or dry-location use where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement.

This threaded rod is suited for residential and commercial applications where all-thread stock is required for hanging, bracing, or anchoring. Common uses include pipe hanger assemblies, HVAC duct support systems, electrical conduit support, and general structural fastening. Installers typically cut this rod to length on the job using a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or angle grinder and thread it into couplings or between two nuts. The 3-foot length provides a practical starting point for most single-run hanger and brace applications without excess waste.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard coarse-thread hardware
• Right-hand thread direction matches all standard nuts and couplings
• 3-foot overall length suitable for a wide range of hanger and support runs
• Low-carbon steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general-duty installations
• Bright, uncoated finish — appropriate for dry or protected indoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC nuts, couplings, and threaded fastening hardware in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support applications.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod is typically installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and general contractors. Before cutting or installing, ensure all adjacent systems are de-energized or depressurized as the work area requires. Use appropriate thread-cutting tools or a die to clean up threads after cutting to length. For structural or seismic support applications, consult applicable building codes and engineer specifications before specifying load capacity.
