What is Threaded Rod?
Threaded rod—also known as all thread rod or simply a stud—is a versatile fastener used in construction, manufacturing, and industrial applications. It consists of a long rod with continuous threading along its length, making it ideal for securing, anchoring, and assembling materials in various environments.
Common Threaded Rod Applications
1. Anchor Bolts
One of the most common threaded rod applications is as anchor bolts in construction. These rods are embedded in concrete foundations to secure structural elements. F1554 grades 36, 55, and 105 are commonly used for this purpose.
2. Epoxy Anchors
In situations where anchor bolts are needed in pre-existing concrete, a hole is drilled and filled with epoxy before inserting a threaded rod. The epoxy bonds with the threads, creating a high-strength anchor.
3. Extending Anchor Bolts
If anchor bolts are set too low within concrete, a coupling nut and threaded rod can be used to extend them. This is a practical threaded rod application that helps contractors avoid costly rework.
4. Double Arming Bolts
Threaded rods are widely used as double arming bolts in utility and electrical work. This threaded rod application allows for adjustable installation of cross arms on utility poles, providing flexibility while maintaining secure connections.
5. Pipe Flange Bolts
In industries requiring high-temperature and high-pressure solutions, such as plumbing, oil, and gas, threaded rods are used as pipe flange bolts to secure components under extreme conditions.
Why Threaded Rod is Essential in Construction & Industrial Work
Threaded rod is widely used because it offers:
- Versatility: Works in multiple industries, from construction to manufacturing.
- Strength & Durability: Can handle high tension, pressure, and environmental stress.
- Easy Assembly: Simple to install and adjust.
- Fast Availability: Readily available, reducing lead times.
