Threaded rods are an essential component in construction, manufacturing, and industrial projects. At Allied Bolt & Screw, we offer a comprehensive selection of threaded rods to suit a wide variety of structural and mechanical applications. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the specifications and benefits of some of our most popular threaded rods:
A307 Steel Threaded Rod – Zinc Plated or Plain
This is one of the most common types of threaded rods. Made from low-carbon steel, A307 rods are perfect for general-purpose applications where high tensile strength isn’t a critical factor.
- Zinc Plated: Offers basic corrosion resistance, ideal for indoor use.
- Plain Finish: Cost-effective choice for dry environments without corrosion risks.
Best for: Light-duty anchoring, electrical support, HVAC, and general construction.
A307 Steel Threaded Rod – Hot Galvanized
When corrosion resistance becomes a concern, hot-dip galvanized A307 rods are the answer. The zinc coating provides a durable barrier against the elements, making it suitable for more rugged environments.
Best for: Outdoor and marine applications, fence construction, and exterior infrastructure.
A193 Grade B7 Threaded Rod – Plain or Hot Galvanized
Designed for extreme environments, A193 Grade B7 rods are heat-treated alloy steel with high tensile strength. These rods are built to withstand both high temperature and high pressure.
- Plain: Often used in controlled environments.
- Hot Galvanized: Provides added corrosion resistance for outdoor or exposed settings.
Best for: Petrochemical plants, refineries, pressure vessels, and steam piping systems.
F1554 Grade 55 Threaded Rod – Plain or Hot Galvanized
This medium-strength threaded rod is a favorite in the construction industry. F1554 Grade 55 rods are weldable and often specified for structural anchoring, including foundation and embedded applications.
Best for: Concrete embedments, foundation systems, anchor bolts, and structural steel connections.
F1554 Grade 105 Threaded Rod – Hot Galvanized
When higher strength is required, F1554 Grade 105 rods deliver. These rods are quenched and tempered, designed to handle demanding structural applications where high tensile strength is a must.
Best for: Heavy-duty anchoring, high-load-bearing foundations, industrial facilities, and bridge construction.
Choosing the Right Threaded Rod
Selecting the correct threaded rod starts with understanding the project’s requirements:
- Load capacity: Do you need high strength or is standard strength sufficient?
- Environment: Will the rod be exposed to moisture, chemicals, or extreme temperatures?
- Weldability: Is welding required during installation?
At Allied Bolt & Screw, we stock a full range of threaded rods in different materials, finishes, and grades. Whether you’re building a bridge, bolting into concrete, or fabricating metal structures, we have the right threaded rod for your application.
