Fully-Threaded Rods & Studs - Grainger Industrial Supply (2024)

Steel rods and studs have higher tensile strength and are more durable than stainless steel. They can be used in everyday fastening applications and are made to meet specific strength requirements, such as a class rating or ASTM grade rating.

These rods and studs provide high strength when mounting and securing components in assemblies or structures. They have greater corrosion resistance than steel rods and studs making them well-suited for use in wet environments.

Brass fully-threaded rods and studs are more corrosion-resistant than steel rods and more heat-resistant than aluminum rods. They are also non-magnetic and electrically and thermally conductive. Brass rods and studs are typically used for a decorative finish or for mating material compatibility.

Aluminum fully-threaded rods & studs are non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant with a clear finish. Weighing less than steel, they are commonly used when a lightweight fastener is needed, such as with electronics or aircraft parts.

Plastic threaded rods and studs are more durable and easier to cut than metal rods. These lightweight rods and studs are corrosion-and-vibration resistant and non-conductive for electrical and automotive applications.

Fully-threaded rods & studs with nuts remove the need to purchase compatible nuts separately. These assemblies ensure proper clamping load and are typically used to fasten flanged pipes.

Left-hand rods and studs have threads that run in the opposite direction from standard, right-hand threads. They are used in specialized applications where reverse threads are required and counterclockwise movements would cause right-hand threads to back out such as gas-supply valves and plumbing and heating pipes.

These rods and studs are resistant to high temperatures, chemicals, and corrosion and have greater tensile strength than their stainless steel counterparts. They are coated with a durable combination of fluoropolymer (PTFE) lubricants and resins for use in salt water offshore and oil and gas applications.

Acme threaded rods and studs fasten parts in heavy machinery with a tight-locking fit. They are stronger than rods with V-shaped threads and provide better load capabilities, tolerances, and wear properties. They are used in industrial applications that require power transmission and heavy torque like milling machines, presses, and lathes.
