Value Collection CD560198 Threaded Rod 5/8-18 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD560198 is a 5/8-18 UNF fully threaded rod measuring 3 feet in overall length, manufactured from low-carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Threaded rods of this type serve as fastening and support hardware across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC applications. The 5/8-18 designation indicates a 5/8-inch nominal diameter with 18 threads per inch on a Unified Fine thread form. Low-carbon steel provides adequate tensile strength for general-duty hanging, anchoring, and assembly work. The uncoated bright finish is suited to dry or protected indoor installations where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.

This threaded rod is commonly used in commercial and residential construction trades for suspending pipe hangers, equipment supports, unistrut assemblies, and electrical conduit runs. HVAC technicians use threaded rod to hang duct supports, fan coil units, and air handlers from structural members. Plumbers and pipefitters use similar hardware for pipe hanger assemblies and valve support brackets. The 3-foot length can be cut to required lengths on the job site using a hacksaw or cut-off wheel.

Key Features

• 5/8-18 UNF thread form for compatibility with standard fine-thread nuts and couplers
• 3-foot overall length suitable for most hanger and support applications
• Low-carbon steel construction provides reliable strength for general-duty fastening
• Bright uncoated finish for clean appearance in indoor installations
• Fully threaded along entire length for maximum positional flexibility

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use with standard 5/8-18 UNF nuts, couplers, and threaded inserts used in mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC support assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or electricians depending on the application. Cut to length using appropriate metal-cutting tools and deburr cut ends before threading hardware. Ensure the supporting structure is rated for the intended load before securing equipment or piping. Follow applicable building codes and trade standards, including SMACNA guidelines for HVAC hanger assemblies and applicable provisions of the IPC for plumbing support hardware.
