Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This zinc-plated carbon steel threaded rod delivers exceptional engineering value through its balanced combination of material strength and protective coating. The 3/16" diameter with 10-32 threading on both ends addresses common industrial challenges where components require secure fastening at multiple connection points. The round rod shape ensures uniform stress distribution while the right-hand thread direction maintains compatibility with standard industrial equipment. Particularly valuable in electrical enclosures, machinery assembly, and structural frameworks, this 12-inch threaded rod solves alignment issues that often plague longer fastener applications. The zinc plating provides essential corrosion protection in environments where moisture or chemical exposure could compromise fastener integrity, making it ideal for manufacturing facilities, outdoor installations, and maintenance operations requiring durable industrial fasteners.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This threaded rod maintains standard inch system tolerances with 3/16" OD diameter and 12" overall length. The 10-32 thread size follows unified thread standards with 1 3/16" thread length on both ends. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) regulations under exemption 6(a) for lead as an alloying element in steel and meets REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance standards as of January 17, 2023, addressing 233 Substances of Very High Concern. The right-hand thread direction and male gender configuration ensure compatibility with standard industrial components and fastening systems.
