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 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

             4

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.
