Value Collection CD560197 Threaded Rod 5/8-11 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD560197 is a 5/8-11 threaded rod cut to 3 feet in length, manufactured from low-carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish. This fully threaded rod carries a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread profile with a right-hand thread direction, making it compatible with standard 5/8-11 nuts, couplers, and threaded inserts. It is a general-purpose fastener used across mechanical, structural, and trade applications where an uncoated rod is acceptable and a field cut or full-length run is needed. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors commonly use threaded rod for hanging pipe, ductwork, conduit, and equipment support from structural members.

This threaded rod is suited for both light commercial and residential installations. Typical uses include suspending pipe hangers, strut channel assemblies, electrical conduit supports, and HVAC equipment from overhead structure. The 3-foot length works well as a stock length that can be cut to dimension in the field with a hacksaw or band saw. The bright, uncoated surface is appropriate for dry or protected indoor environments. Installers working under SMACNA, NEC, or IPC hanger spacing guidelines will find this rod a common fit for standard trapeze and clevis hanger assemblies.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard 5/8-11 hardware
• Right-hand thread direction for use with conventional nuts and couplers
• 3-foot overall length — field-cuttable to required hanger drop
• Low-carbon steel construction provides adequate strength for typical support loads
• Bright, uncoated finish suits dry indoor applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/8-11 UNC threaded rod for use with any hardware, hanger, coupler, or insert that accepts a 5/8-11 right-hand thread. Suitable for general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support applications in dry indoor environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC, plumbing, or electrical mechanics following applicable hanger spacing codes such as SMACNA, IPC, or NEC. Cut the rod to length using a hacksaw or band saw and dress cut threads with a thread file or die before installing hardware. Confirm that the supporting structure is rated for the intended load before hanging equipment or pipe. Avoid using uncoated rod in wet, corrosive, or outdoor environments where a zinc-plated or stainless alternative would be more appropriate.
