    Threaded Rods

    Anchor, connect, or hang components in a wide variety of applications, from mounting I-beams to suspending light fixtures.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Rods. Threaded Rods.
    With tensile strengths from 110,000 psi to 125,000 psi, these rods are strong enough for most industrial applications, such as anchoring machinery and connecting pipe flanges. They are about twice as strong as low-strength steel rods. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your nuts are also medium-strength steel.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these rods to rust.

    High-Strength Steel

    With a tensile strength of 150,000 psi, these rods are strong enough to stabilize steel frameworks and structural supports, such as I-beams. They are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel rods. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your nuts are also high-strength steel.

    Low-Strength Steel

    With a tensile strength of 50,000 psi or 60,000 psi, these rods are often used to suspend light fixtures, cable trays, and conduit from ceilings. They're about half the strength of medium-strength steel rods. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your nuts are also low-strength steel.

    Threaded Air-Powered Hold-Down Fixture Clamps for Welding

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Fixture Clamps. Threaded Air-Powered Hold-Down Fixture Clamps for Welding, Rubber Holding Screw Tip.

    Rubber Holding Screw Tip

    Screw these clamps directly into a tapped hole and use air pressure to quickly and consistently clamp and release parts when welding. Compact and lightweight, these clamps are easy to move and reposition when welding. They’re also known as swing clamps. Connect these clamps to a control valve and air line. When pressure is applied, the arm on these clamps rotates 90° into position over your workpiece before clamping down. When pressure is released, the arm rises and rotates out of the way, so you can load or unload parts.
    Sensor Ready—Sensor-ready clamps activate relays and controllers when used with a sensor (not included).
    Rubber Holding Screw Tip—Clamps with a rubber-tipped holding screw are nonmarring. Their tip is removable.
    Replacement Arms—Replacement arms (sold separately) do not include a holding screw. Extended arms (sold separately) give your clamp a longer reach than standard arms. However, you’ll have to use lower pressure, which means the actual clamping force will be lower than the clamp’s listed rating.
