A familiar application
Traditionally you may have specified a threaded rod; a type of metal fastener with threads cut into both ends, when requiring a high-spec suspension solution.
Resembling the shank of a screw, they tend to be longer and thicker than a standard screw. Threaded rods don’t have heads or washers like those found on a screw-on bolt, and tend to be the same diameter along their entire length.
Depending on the model, a threaded rod may feature threads along the entire length, or simply at either end. This product is sometimes known as all-thread, and can also be referred to simply as a stud.
Frequently used to join two materials together, a threaded rod also serves as a popular method of hanging sheet metal ducts and other equipment within a building. Installers attach one end of the rod to the ceiling structure, and then thread the other end into a special fastener or clip. These clips or fasteners can then be used to hang ductwork, light fixtures, or mechanical equipment.
When choosing threaded rod, buyers must consider a number of factors to select the right product for the job: the type of material used, length and diameter of each threaded rod, type of threading on each rod and visual appearance.
