Stainless Steel Threaded Rod

Stainless Steel Threaded Rod

Stainless steel threaded rod is a go-to solution for contractors, fabricators, and builders who need high-strength, corrosion-resistant fasteners in demanding environments. Whether you’re anchoring structural supports, assembling framing components, or fabricating equipment, these rods deliver tensile strength, consistent threading, and long-term durability you can count on.

At Fasteners Plus, we carry a wide range of stainless threaded rod diameters and lengths, available in standard thread pitch and fully threaded configurations, to meet the needs of both industrial and commercial applications.

Why Choose Stainless Steel Threaded Rod?

Unlike plain steel or zinc-plated alternatives, stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially in moisture-prone or chemical-exposed environments. That makes it an ideal choice for:

• Marine construction and dock building
• HVAC and mechanical installations
• Outdoor framing and structural reinforcement
• Food-grade or sanitary applications
• Concrete embedment and anchor assemblies

These rods are also suitable for use in environments where aesthetics, code compliance, or non-magnetic properties are required.

Available in Common Stainless Grades

We offer stainless threaded rods in the most widely used stainless grades:

• 304 Stainless Steel: Excellent all-purpose corrosion resistance and weldability
• 316 Stainless Steel: Superior corrosion resistance, ideal for marine and coastal environments

Both grades offer long-term performance with minimal maintenance, making them a reliable choice for permanent installations or structural connections exposed to the elements.

Versatile, Cut-to-Length Options

Threaded rod is often cut to custom lengths on-site and used in combination with hex nuts, washers, couplings, or anchoring epoxies. Choose full-length rods for on-site flexibility or pre-cut sizes for faster job site installation. All rods are fully threaded for ease of use across a range of hardware applications.

Common Uses for Stainless Threaded Rod

• Suspending electrical or plumbing lines
• Securing pipe hangers and ductwork
• Forming anchor bolts or tie-down assemblies
• Mounting signage or equipment to concrete walls
• Custom fabrication in high-exposure environments

Installation & Compatibility Tips

When installing stainless steel threaded rod, be sure to use stainless nuts and washers to maintain corrosion resistance throughout the connection. Avoid pairing with dissimilar metals in high-moisture areas to prevent galvanic corrosion. For anchoring applications, stainless rods are often embedded in epoxy or mechanical anchors to provide high-strength fastening to concrete or masonry.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What’s the difference between 304 and 316 stainless? 316 offers enhanced corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides, saltwater, and industrial chemicals, making it the better choice for marine and coastal environments.
• Are these rods fully threaded? Yes, all stainless steel threaded rods we carry are fully threaded from end to end unless otherwise noted.
• Can I cut these rods on-site? Absolutely. Threaded rod can be cut with a hacksaw or cut-off wheel, just be sure to rethread or deburr the ends as needed.
• Are stainless rods non-magnetic? 304 stainless may be slightly magnetic after cold working. 316 is more corrosion-resistant and typically non-magnetic.
