Value Collection CD559818 Threaded Rod 5/16-18 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD559818 is a 5/16-18 threaded rod, 3 feet long, made from low-carbon steel with a bright uncoated finish. This fully threaded fastener is used to create tension links, hangers, and anchor assemblies across a wide range of mechanical and structural applications. The UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread profile and right-hand thread direction are the standard configuration for most North American fastener systems. It ships individually and is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors as a support or hanging component in both new construction and retrofit work.

This threaded rod is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include pipe hangers, equipment support struts, duct suspension, and electrical conduit support systems. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for dry interior environments. At 5/16-18 thread size, this rod is compatible with standard 5/16-18 hex nuts, coupling nuts, washers, and strut channel hardware widely available from major fastener suppliers.
