    Threaded Rods

    Anchor, connect, or hang components in a wide variety of applications, from mounting I-beams to suspending light fixtures.
    Low-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Rods. Threaded Rods.
    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.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—The most common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these rods to rust.

    Stainless Steel

    More corrosion resistant than steel rods and comparable in strength to low-strength steel.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these rods resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these rods won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

    All of these rods are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. However, they are not as strong as metal or composite rods.
    Nylon 6/6—The most popular plastic rods, these are strong, durable, and economical. They’re also slippery to thread on smoothly. Best for dry environments, nylon will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture.
