Value Collection CD558681 Threaded Rod 1/4-28 Unf 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD558681 is a 1/4-28 UNF threaded rod made from low-carbon steel, supplied in a 3-foot length with a bright, uncoated finish. Threaded rods of this type provide fully threaded fastening stock used to create tension connections, suspend components, or serve as anchor studs in assemblies. The 1/4-28 thread designation indicates a Unified National Fine pitch on a 1/4-inch nominal diameter, offering finer thread engagement compared to coarse-pitch equivalents. The bright finish means no additional surface coating is applied, which is standard for general-purpose mechanical and structural fastening applications.

This threaded rod is suited for light mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, pipe hanger support systems, and general fabrication work in both residential and commercial settings. Tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction use fully threaded rod stock of this size when custom-length fasteners or through-bolt assemblies are required. The 3-foot length allows field cutting to required dimensions with a hacksaw or rod cutter.

Key Features

• 1/4-28 UNF thread form for fine-pitch engagement and secure fastening
• 3-foot overall length provides ample stock for field cutting to required length
• Low-carbon steel construction balances tensile strength with ease of cutting and threading
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for interior or protected-environment applications
• Fully threaded along entire length for maximum adjustment flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded rod compatible with standard 1/4-28 UNF nuts, couplers, and threaded inserts in typical mechanical and structural fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing tradespeople using standard hand tools such as wrenches, rod cutters, or hacksaws with a metal-cutting blade. When cutting to length, deburr the cut end before threading on nuts or couplers to avoid cross-threading. Use appropriate thread-locking compound or jam nuts where vibration is present. Verify that mating hardware carries a matching 1/4-28 UNF thread specification before assembly.
