AFT Fasteners Provides All-Thread Rod that Meets ASTM Standards for B7, Low Carbon, Zinc Plated, Hot Dipped Galvanized, and Stainless Steel Threaded Rod

AFT Fasteners carries a large line-up of Threaded Rod, also known as “All-Thread Rod”. ASTM standards can easily be met by AFT Fasteners for petroleum applications, construction, fabrication, electrical and consumer product manufacturing. Standard and non-standard sizes, course or fine threads and most industry desired platings and coatings are readily available from global solutions providers - AFT Fasteners.
   
     Threaded rod is a widely used and very versatile product. It is generally used in several industries, including chemical, electrical, construction, agricultural, maintenance and even home use. All-thread rod eliminates the need for such on site resources as threading equipment, dies, and most importantly time. It is produced with threads rolled under high pressure to give greater strength and can be used with standard nuts and washers. Generally the rod can be cut with a metal cutting hack saw or a power band saw, and with clean saw cuts the nut will move easily over the threads. Rougher cutting devices may require chamfering to bevel the ends for ease of threading washers and nuts. AFT Fasteners provides threaded rod in standard 36" lengths, as well as specialty length which are cut to request.
     Grades of all-thread rod vary, and the most common grades include: ASTM A193 - B7 Alloy, Low Carbon Steel, Zinc Plated, Hot Dipped Galvanized, 18-8 Stainless Steel and 316 Stainless Steel. The most common is ASTM A193 B7 Studs and Rods. This grade has a tensile strength of 125,000 psi and is a heat treated alloy. It is generally used in applications where strength or high strength to weight ratio is required. This grade is a favorite for petroleum and oil field industries, and B7 is widely used in commercial plant applications and new construction projects for pipe and machinery installation and maintenance. The stainless steel grades of threaded rod are used when excellent corrosion resistance and strength are required. Used primarily in chemical, food, mechanical, agricultural and medical applications. With an in-house plating and coating facility, Xylan and other popular threaded rod coatings are very affordable!
