Threaded Rods
Threaded rods are essential fasteners used across various industries for their strength, versatility, and ease of use. These rods, also known as all-thread or studding, feature continuous threading along their length, allowing for secure connections in construction, manufacturing, and assembly applications. Available in a range of materials, diameters, and thread types, threaded rods provide reliable fastening solutions for both temporary and permanent installations.
At OneMonroe, we offer a comprehensive selection of threaded rods designed to meet diverse industry requirements. Whether you need standard steel, stainless steel, or specialty coatings for corrosion resistance, our high-quality threaded rods ensure durability and performance in demanding environments. With precise engineering and custom options available, OneMonroe is your trusted source for threaded fastening solutions.
Threaded Rods
- Application: Specifies common uses for the rod, such as construction, electrical, plumbing, and industrial applications, where they’re typically used for fastening, bracing, or supporting structures.
- Corrosion Resistance: Refers to the rod’s ability to resist degradation due to exposure to moisture, chemicals, or other environmental factors. Stainless steel or coated rods often offer better corrosion resistance.
- Diameter: The measurement across the rod’s threaded section, typically measured in inches or millimeters. Diameter is essential to determine the rod's strength and compatibility with nuts and washers.
- Elongation: Indicates the rod’s ductility by showing how much it can stretch before breaking, usually expressed as a percentage. Higher elongation means the rod is less likely to break suddenly under stress.
- Finish/Coating: The type of surface treatment or coating applied to the rod, such as zinc plating, galvanizing, or black oxide. Coatings improve corrosion resistance, appearance, and sometimes friction resistance.
- Grade: The mechanical grade of the rod, which indicates its strength and load bearing capacity. Common grades include 2, 5, and 8 for steel, and various standards for stainless steel. Higher grades generally mean greater tensile strength and durability.
- Length: The total length of the threaded rod, usually available in standard lengths like 1, 3, 6, or 12 feet, as well as custom sizes. Length is a key factor in selecting the right rod for structural or fastening applications.
- Material: Threaded rods can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and other alloys. Material choice impacts the rod’s strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for different environments.
- Tensile Strength: The maximum stress the rod can withstand while being stretched before breaking, typically measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or megapascals (MPa). This is an important attribute for structural and load bearing applications.
- Thread Pitch: The distance between each thread, typically measured in threads per inch (TPI) for standard rods or millimeters for metric rods. Thread pitch affects how securely the rod will hold when mated with nuts or other threaded fasteners.
- Thread Type: Describes the threading style, typically coarse (UNC) or fine (UNF) threads for imperial, or standard (metric) threading for metric rods. Coarse threads are better for quick assembly, while fine threads provide a more secure hold.
- Tolerance: Specifies the precision of the thread dimensions, especially in applications requiring tight fits. Higher tolerances are critical in engineering and precision applications where exact measurements are required.
- Yield Strength: The stress at which the rod begins to deform permanently. Yield strength is critical in applications where the rod must maintain its shape under load without bending.
