⁵⁄₁₆” Threaded Rod (1ft)

Threaded Rod

Zinc Plated Threaded Rod – Versatile for Anchoring and Structural Suspension

The Zinc Plated Threaded Rod is a highly versatile fastener essential for mechanical and construction projects. This specific length is perfect for applications requiring precise short bolting, deep anchoring into structural members, or securing fixtures through thin walls. Emphasizing utility, the rod is fully threaded along its entire length, maximizing flexibility.

The rod is constructed from durable steel and features a protective zinc-plated finish, which ensures reliable strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both interior and mild exterior environments. Its high tensile strength allows it to be used in heavy-duty applications such as anchoring structural supports and suspending utility lines.

Key Benefits

• Structural Anchoring: Ideal for use with chemical or mechanical anchors (capsules, sleeves) to secure heavy items to concrete or masonry.

• Load Distribution: High tensile strength is perfect for applications involving hanging, tensioning, and high axial loads.

• Corrosion Resistance: Zinc plating protects the steel from rust and weathering.

• Manufacturing custom U-bolts, eye bolts, or double-ended studs in a workshop.

• Tie rods and tensioning applications in small wood or metal assemblies.

Application Instructions

• Preparation: Ensure the length 1ft is correct for the application.

• Anchoring: Insert the rod into a drilled, clean hole.

• Securing: Thread nuts and washers onto the rod to secure fixtures above the substrate.

• Safety: Wear eye protection and gloves when handling or cutting the rod.

Pro Tips

• Thread a nut onto the rod before cutting it; remove the nut after cutting to clean and restore the threads.

• For overhead suspension, ensure the rod diameter (5/16″) meets the required load and safety factor.

• Use a hex coupling nut to join two 12-inch sections together if a longer continuous length is temporarily needed.

• Ensure proper torque is applied to the nuts for secure fastening.
