Internally Threaded Turnbuckle-Style Connecting Rods
Similar to turnbuckles, these rods have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the other so you can make a linkage that adjusts for tension. Add right- and left-hand threaded rod ends to build your linkages. Rods have a hex-shaped body so you can adjust them with a wrench.
Aluminum rods are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance.
Note: The end with the left-hand threads is marked with a groove.

Carbon steel rods handle higher loads than aluminum and 18-8 stainless steel rods.
Aluminum rods are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance.
18-8 stainless steel rods are corrosion resistant and stand up to chemicals.
Note: The end with the left-hand threads is marked with a groove.
Left-Hand to Right-Hand Female Hex Thread Adapters
Often called sleeve nuts, these thread adapters fasten parts with right-hand threads to parts with left-hand threads.
18-8 stainless steel adapters have good corrosion resistance.
