Stainless steel threaded rods 304, 316 to order

Stainless steel threaded rod (all-thread rod, studding) is a round bar threaded along its full length. Used with nuts and washers, it hangs pipes, cable trays and ceilings, fixes equipment and serves as anchor bolts of any length. Inox TINTA supplies and machines threaded rods in 201, 304 and 316 stainless steel to the diameter, length and quantity you need.

Threaded rod vs bolt

A bolt has a fixed head and a partial thread; a threaded rod is threaded all the way, so it can be cut to any length and a nut can be tightened anywhere along it. Fully threaded rods are commonly made to DIN 975, used with DIN 934 nuts and DIN 125 flat washers.

Choosing the grade

Common sizes

• Diameter: typically M6 to M24; other sizes to order.
• Length: standard 1 m, 2 m, 3 m bars or cut to your length.
• Thread: standard metric coarse pitch; fine pitch or imperial threads on request.
• Matching parts: nuts, flat and spring washers, anchors in the same grade.

Installation tips

• Prevent galling: stainless-on-stainless threads can seize when tightened fast or over-torqued; tighten steadily and use anti-seize on critical joints.
• Use the same grade for rod, nut and washer to avoid galvanic corrosion.
• Chamfer the cut end so the nut starts easily.

Threaded rods are often ordered with stainless steel bolts and nuts and base plates and flanges. See our other stainless steel accessories.
