Threaded Rod

About Product

Metal rods with spiral threads along their length are called threaded rods or studs. They can be made of different metals, like steel, brass or stainless steel, or some plastics, such as nylon. They are like screws without a head, and they use both linear and rotational motion to create a strong bond between materials. They can also work with nuts and bolts because of their threads. They are often used in support systems and other situations where they have to resist high pressure and tension.

Threaded rods are useful for joining, securing or attaching two materials. The spiral threads on the rod create a tightening effect, using friction to keep the fastening in place. Threaded rods can work with woods, metals and even concrete to make a permanent or temporary base for supporting projects. This is especially common in construction projects, where threaded rods can stud concrete foundations for extra support.
