Stainless Steel Threaded Rod

Galvanized-Threaded-Rod

Threaded rods are also called studs which are long rods that are threaded on both ends. They are designed to be used in tension. These rods are used in a variety of applications, many of which are related to manufacturing. Combustion gas engines often use threaded rods to secure the cylinder head to the engine block. Due to their dual-threading design, they are able to withstand both tension and vibrations.

Aside from manufacturing, a major use of threaded rod is in the construction industry. Threaded rods are often used when constructing buildings and bridges. They are a type of heavy-duty fasteners that is characterized by the presence of threading on both ends.

Unlike the galvanized threaded rod, which is coated by a thin layer of zinc to prevent corrosion, stainless steel threaded rod has an additional chromium. This makes it usable for all water applications, even salt water. Galvanized threaded rod, however, may not be used for saltwater applications.

Thread rods or threaded rods are the studs used in plumbing, building, fabrication, and maintenance works. Its main purpose is to stabilize or join woods, metal and other materials for wall or furniture construction. It makes sure your installations get high high grip strength and that the tension is evenly distributed when mounting and securing components. In fact, thread rods are designed for tension. Some mistake thread rods for bolts. But the latter is generally smaller and threaded on one side only.

The tensile force allowable for a galvanized threaded rod depends on its type. The American Institute of Steel Construction recommends 

𝛲 = 0.33Fy𝝿d2

where Fy is the yield strength of the material.

It’s called threaded rod because, as the name suggests, it is threaded on both ends. This galvanized thread rod is coated with zinc to protect it from rusting, so you can rest assured that it can be used long term. 

Our stock of thread rods are of different configurations and diameter. Currently, we have 1/4 x 10 ft., 5/16 x 10 ft., 3/8 x 10 ft., 1/2 x 10 ft., 5/8 x 10 ft., 3/4 x 10 ft., and 10mm x 10 ft.
