This High Strength Threaded Rod is pretty straightforward to use—whether you’re working on stuff in the shop or doing DIY projects at home. First off, pick the right size and material based on how much weight it needs to hold and where you’ll be using it.
Start by lining up the holes in the parts you want to connect—make sure the hole diameter matches the rod’s threads. Then screw a nut onto one end of the rod until it hits the tip, and run the rod through the holes.
You can put washers on both sides to spread out the pressure—it’s not required, but it helps keep things stable. After that, thread another nut onto the other end and tighten both nuts slowly with a wrench to hold everything in place.
If there’s gonna be a lot of vibration, you can add thread lock to the nuts for extra security. If the rod is too long, just cut it with a hacksaw and smooth out the cut end so it doesn’t mess up the threads.
We package these High Strength Threaded Rods in a practical way—mostly to keep them from getting damaged during shipping and to make them easy for you to grab and use. Here’s how we do it: each rod gets its own plastic protective sleeve. That way, the threads don’t get scratched or messed up when they’re being transported. The sleeves have clear labels on them: size (like M6-M24), length (1m to 3m), material, and any relevant standards (such as ISO 4017).
For small orders, we usually bundle them in groups of 10, 25, or 50, then put them in sturdy cardboard boxes. The boxes have dividers inside so the rods don’t twist around or get tangled with each other. If you’re ordering large quantities or longer rods, we use thicker corrugated boxes or wooden crates. We also wrap them in moisture-proof film to stop them from rusting.
We can also do custom packaging if you need it. Like, we can cut the rods to your specified length and put them in small retail-sized plastic trays, or do roll packaging for continuous industrial use.
