High-Strength Steel Threaded Rods

Comparable to Grade 8 steel, these threaded rods have a tensile strength of 150,000 psi, making them about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel rods.
Zinc yellow-chromate plated steel threaded rods resist corrosion in wet environments.
Black-oxide steel threaded rods have a dark surface color and are corrosion resistant in dry environments.

Left-Hand Threaded Medium-Strength Steel Threaded Rods—Grade B7


Tighten these threaded rods by turning them to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. Made from Grade B7 steel, their tensile strength is one and a half times higher than low-strength steel rods. They also meet the pressure and temperature requirements of ASTM A193, so they are often used to secure pressure tanks, valves, and flanges.

Low-Strength Steel Threaded Rods

About half the strength of medium-strength steel threaded rods, use these for light duty hanging, mounting, and fastening.
Zinc-plated steel threaded rods are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
