1/2" X 3' Threaded Rod

Overview The 1/2" X 3' Threaded Rod (N179-531) is designed for general hardware fastening applications requiring a full-length threaded steel rod that can be field-modified to suit specific installation requirements. Specification Value MPN N179-531 Brand Stanley Hardware Weight 1.43 lb Dimensions 36.15" x 2" x 1.25" Material Hot rolled, cold drawn, low carbon steel Thread Fit Class Class 2A Standard Compliance ASTM A307 Color Gray Technical Features Class 2A thread fit: Provides a standardized, general-purpose external thread tolerance, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of nuts, couplers, and threaded fittings. Hot rolled, cold drawn, low carbon steel construction: Delivers a consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy suited for structural and mechanical fastening tasks. ASTM A307 compliant: Meets established specifications for carbon steel bolts and studs with a minimum tensile strength rating, confirming suitability for structural and load-bearing connections. Field-modifiable design: Can be cut, heated, and bent on-site, allowing the rod to be adapted to custom lengths and configurations without specialized tooling. Full 3-foot (36") threaded length: Eliminates the need for rod couplers in shorter span applications, reducing hardware count and installation time. Applications Hanging and suspending mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems (MEP) from structural ceilings or beams. Anchoring equipment, fixtures, and machinery to concrete or structural steel using threaded inserts or anchor bolts. Fabricating custom-length fasteners and tie rods by cutting to a required dimension on the job site. General construction assembly where a continuous external thread is required along the full rod length. DIY and light structural projects requiring a compliant, standardized threaded fastening element.
