1/2" X 3' Threaded Rod

Overview

The 1/2" X 3' Threaded Rod (N179-531) is designed for general hardware fastening applications requiring a full-length threaded steel rod that can be field-modified to suit specific installation requirements.

Technical Features

• Class 2A thread fit: Provides a standardized, general-purpose external thread tolerance, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of nuts, couplers, and threaded fittings.
• Hot rolled, cold drawn, low carbon steel construction: Delivers a consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy suited for structural and mechanical fastening tasks.
• ASTM A307 compliant: Meets established specifications for carbon steel bolts and studs with a minimum tensile strength rating, confirming suitability for structural and load-bearing connections.
• Field-modifiable design: Can be cut, heated, and bent on-site, allowing the rod to be adapted to custom lengths and configurations without specialized tooling.
• Full 3-foot (36") threaded length: Eliminates the need for rod couplers in shorter span applications, reducing hardware count and installation time.

Applications

• Hanging and suspending mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems (MEP) from structural ceilings or beams.
• Anchoring equipment, fixtures, and machinery to concrete or structural steel using threaded inserts or anchor bolts.
• Fabricating custom-length fasteners and tie rods by cutting to a required dimension on the job site.
• General construction assembly where a continuous external thread is required along the full rod length.
• DIY and light structural projects requiring a compliant, standardized threaded fastening element.
