Value Collection CD559449 Threaded Rod 3/8-16 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD559449 is a 3/8-16 threaded rod cut to 3 feet in length, manufactured from low-carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form and a right-hand thread direction. Threaded rods of this type are used as fastening and hanging hardware in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations where an all-thread fastener is required. The 3/8-16 designation indicates a 0.375-inch nominal diameter with 16 threads per inch. This rod is installed by licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working in light structural and support applications.

This threaded rod is suited for suspended pipe hangers, unistrut and channel nut assemblies, equipment mounting frames, and general mechanical support work in both commercial and residential settings. It is commonly used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians to support conduit, ductwork, and piping from overhead structure. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for interior, dry-location applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard nuts and couplers
• Right-hand thread direction for use with standard fastening hardware
• 3-foot overall length for versatile field cutting and installation
• Low-carbon steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for typical support loads
• Bright, uncoated finish suits dry interior installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC all-thread rod compatible with 3/8-16 hex nuts, coupling nuts, rod hangers, strut nut plates, and other 3/8-16 threaded hardware commonly used in mechanical and electrical support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or electricians in accordance with applicable mechanical and building codes. Rod can be field-cut to length using a reciprocating saw, hacksaw, or abrasive cutoff wheel; re-chase cut threads with a die if needed to ensure clean engagement. Verify that supporting structure and anchoring hardware are rated for the intended load before suspending equipment or piping. Use appropriate thread-locking methods where vibration is a concern.
