Zinc Plated A307 Threaded Rod
Zinc plated A307 threaded rod offers a versatile, affordable solution for general-purpose construction, bracing, and anchoring tasks. Made from low carbon steel and meeting ASTM A307 Grade A specifications, these rods deliver reliable strength for non-critical structural work, while the zinc coating provides moderate corrosion resistance for dry or lightly exposed environments.
If you’re installing mechanical supports, mounting brackets, or working with concrete embeds in protected areas, this threaded rod is a practical and cost-effective choice.
Why Choose Zinc Plated A307 Rod?
This rod is made from ASTM A307 Grade A steel, fully threaded end-to-end, and electroplated with a zinc coating to resist oxidation during storage and light-duty service. While not rated for high-tension or extreme weather exposure, it performs well for interior and low-corrosion settings where structural codes allow.
Key Benefits
- Meets ASTM A307 Standards: Grade A steel offers dependable tensile strength for low to medium load-bearing use
- Zinc-Plated Finish: Adds mild corrosion resistance—ideal for dry interiors or short-term exposure
- Fully Threaded: Allows for flexible use with standard nuts, couplers, and hardware
- Economical: A budget-friendly solution for contractors and DIYers alike
Common Applications
- Suspending conduit, piping, or cable tray systems
- General framing, bracing, or fabrication
- Mounting signage, lighting, or mechanical equipment
- Light-duty concrete anchoring with epoxy or mechanical anchors
- Interior infrastructure builds (non-corrosive environments)
Installation & Compatibility
Zinc plated A307 threaded rod is easy to cut, drill through, and pair with standard zinc-plated nuts and washers. It’s recommended for indoor applications or lightly sheltered outdoor use. For permanent exterior installations or chemically treated environments, consider hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use this rod outdoors? Limited outdoor use is possible, but prolonged moisture or exposure will cause corrosion. For outdoor applications, hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel is recommended.
- Is it weldable? Zinc-plated rods are not recommended for welding due to fume hazards. Use plain finish if welding is required.
- Are these fully threaded? Yes, all zinc plated A307 threaded rods are fully threaded end to end unless otherwise noted.
- What is the tensile strength? Minimum tensile strength for A307 Grade A is 60 ksi (60,000 psi), suitable for light structural use.
