Stainless Steel Threaded Rod
What is stainless steel threaded rod? Stainless steel threaded rod is fully threaded rod used to hang, join, or anchor, cut to length and paired with nuts and washers. Made from 18-8 and 316 stainless, plus metric sizes, it resists rust in wet, coastal, and outdoor use where plated rod would corrode.
Threaded Rod, Stainless Steel
3 Foot Threaded Rod
Corrosion-resistant fully threaded rod in a 3-foot length, 18-8 and 316 stainless, for shorter hanging runs and fabrication.
6 Foot Threaded Rod
Corrosion-resistant fully threaded rod in a 6-foot length, 18-8 and 316 stainless, for longer runs and bulk cutting.
Choosing length and grade for threaded rod
Threaded rod is sold in standard lengths, commonly 3-foot and 6-foot in inch sizes plus 1-meter in metric, and cut to fit on site. Pick the length that minimizes waste for your run, then match the grade to the environment, with 18-8 for general indoor and outdoor use and 316 for coastal and saltwater exposure. Because the rod is threaded its full length, a coupling nut joins two pieces for longer spans, and anti-seize helps prevent galling when running nuts down stainless threads.
Why choose stainless steel threaded rod

- Corrosion resistance: holds up in wet, coastal, and outdoor use.
- Grade range: 18-8 and 316 inch, plus metric sizes.
- Versatile: hang, join, anchor, and fabricate.
Common applications for stainless threaded rod
- Hanging pipe, conduit, and fixtures
- Anchoring and structural tie rods

Stainless Steel Threaded Rod FAQ
What lengths does threaded rod come in?
Commonly 3-foot and 6-foot in inch sizes and 1-meter in metric, all cut to length on site as needed.
How do I join two pieces of threaded rod?
Use a coupling nut, a long hex nut that threads onto both rod ends to extend length with full engagement.
Which grade should I use outdoors?
18-8 handles most outdoor and freshwater use. For coastal, saltwater, or road-salt exposure, choose 316.
