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.

Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-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.

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.

Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these rods to rust.

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.

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.

Corrosion-Resistant Clevis Rod Ends

These clevis rod ends offer more corrosion resistance than standard steel clevis rod ends. Also called yoke-end linkages, they support pivoting movement along one axis when threaded onto shafts, rods, valve pistons, and other assemblies.

316 Stainless Steel—Stainless steel rod ends offer excellent corrosion resistance.

Ball Joint Rod Ends

Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They don’t come lubricated, so you’ll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.

Easy-Adjust Clevis Rod Ends


Clevis Rod End

Make quick adjustments to these rod ends by inserting and releasing the clevis pins without the need to bend them into place. Also called yoke-end linkages, they support pivoting movement along one axis when threaded onto shafts, rods, valve pistons, and other assemblies. All are zinc-plated steel for moderate corrosion resistance.

Lubrication-Free Ball Joint Rod Ends

A carbon fiber-reinforced insert or PTFE liner reduces wear, handles shock loads, and eliminates the need for lubrication. Made of steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. All are zinc plated, so they resist corrosion for a short time before the finish is consumed and the steel is exposed.
