Threaded Rod and Hex Nut Kits for Pipe Flanges

These kits include the rods and nuts you need to connect standard-size pipe flanges. Their heavy duty material and construction keep tanks, valves, and flanges tightly sealed under heavy pressure. With a 10% wider profile than standard hex nuts, these hex nuts spread force over a larger area and can handle extra torque during installation. The rods are fully threaded to distribute and absorb high levels of clamping force. These rods and nuts meet a number of rigorous industry specifications for high-pressure performance, high-temperature performance, and dimensional requirements.

• Medium-Strength Steel— With a tensile strength of 125,000 psi, these rods are strong enough for most industrial applications, such as anchoring machinery and connecting pipe flanges. About twice as strong as low-strength steel rods.
• Steel— Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these rods to rust.
• Corrosion-Resistant PTFE-Coated Steel— A PTFE coating protects the steel from corrosion and pitting when exposed to chemicals, such as those found in cleaners and sanitizers. The coating is also slippery to thread on smoothly.
• High-Strength Stainless Steel— Cold worked or heat treated, these rods are about 40% stronger than our other stainless steel rods. All are more corrosion resistant than steel rods and comparable in strength to medium-strength steel.
• 18-8 Stainless Steel— The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these rods resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
• 316 Stainless Steel— Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these rods won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
