Threaded Bar
A range of threaded bar at great prices
Threaded bar, also known as threaded rod or studding, is supplied at competitive prices and in lengths of 1-meter / 1000mm.
A bar with the thread along it's entire length that offers flexibility when conventional bolts are not long enough, as the threaded bar can be cut to length or extended with connector nuts.
Supplied in a variety of diameters, threads and materials, threaded bar has a number of industrial applications and is typically used across the building trade, general maintenance, plumbing, and electrical industries.
It's length also lends itself to being used to add stability to structures by tying them together during construction.
Threaded bar benefits, uses, and FAQs
Benefits of threaded bar
- Versatility - Threaded bar is extremely versatile due to it being fully threaded and able to be cut to any length. This makes it suitable for many applications where standard fasteners won’t fit.
-
Flexibility - Threaded bars versatility is increased due to its ability to joined together with connector nuts to extend its overall length.
Strong and Reliable - Provides excellent tensile strength for heavy-duty fixing, anchoring, and bracing applications.
-
Multiple Applications - It’s versatility see’s it used across many sectors including construction, manufacturing, electrical installations, plumbing, and DIY projects.
-
Easy to Work With - Can be cut, drilled, and secured with standard nuts, washers, and tools.
-
Wide Range of Sizes - Available in various diameters to suit different load requirements.
-
Material Options - Available in a wide range of sizes and materials.
-
Secure Fastening - Provides a continuous thread, ensuring nuts and fixings grip firmly anywhere along the bar.
What can threaded bar be used for?
Threaded bars versatility sees it used across numerous sectors for a variety of applications.
- Suspension - Threaded bar can be used to hang pipework, ductwork for, cable trays, and lighting fixtures from ceilings and walls.
-
Anchoring - When set into concrete using epoxy or anchors it can provide a secure point for attaching structural elements, framing, or heavy machinery.
-
Formwork - Threaded rods can be used in temporary formwork and shuttering to brace and reinforce concrete structures during construction.
-
Structural reinforcement - In buildings and bridges, they function as tension members for bracing or as crossties to hold structural beams together securely.
FAQs about threaded bar
- Is threaded bar the same as studding? - Yes, the terms “threaded bar,” “studding,” and “allthread” all refer to the same product, a long metal rod fully threaded along its length.
-
Can threaded bar be cut to length? - Yes, threaded bar can be cut to length and is often cut to length when conventional bolts are not long enough
- Can threaded bar be used in concrete? - Yes. Threaded bar can be anchored into concrete using resin or mechanical fixings, making it a common choice for structural connections
- Can threaded bar be used outdoors? - Yes, provided you choose the right material. Stainless steel or galvanised threaded bar is recommended for outdoor or damp environments to prevent rust. For marine or saltwater environments, A4 stainless steel is recommended
- How do you join two lengths of threaded bar together? - You can join two lengths using connector nuts which ensures a strong and continuous connection.
- Can threaded bar be used instead of bolts? - Yes. Threaded bar is often used in place of long bolts, as it can be cut to custom lengths and fixed with nuts and washers.
What materials are used in the threaded bar?
The threaded bar here at Fusion Fixings is supplied in 3 main materials, these include A2 stainless steel, BZP - bright zinc plated and brass. Always remember to use comparable materials with the threaded bar. For example, if you are using stainless steel threaded bar, use stainless steel fixings etc.
A2 stainless steel threaded bar
A2 grade stainless steel is also referred to as 304 or 18/8 steel, due to the alloy being comprised of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. The higher level of chromium helps the alloy resist and prevent further spreading of corrosion and staining that may occur within certain types of applications. Our A2 stainless steel threaded bar are a great choice when a higher level of corrosion resistance is required.
BZP - bright zinc plated threaded bar
Zinc plated passivation is one of the more common finishes on steel products due to its affordable price and is readily available across most fixings and fasteners. The applied layer of zinc provides a galvanized protection to the steel helping to prevent oxidization. However, due to the coating only being thin, whilst it does provide resistance to moisture, it will struggle to prevent rusting when used outside for longer periods.
Brass threaded bar
Not the most common material used but threaded bar made from brass are highly resistant to rust and atmospheric corrosion. Brass threaded rod is also known for its ability to conduct electricity and can retain its shape, size, and tensile strength even when used in harsh environmental conditions.
