10-24 UNC Allthread Rod, 304 Stainless Steel - ATRA21024UNCX3

The Allthread Rod UNC 304 Stainless Steel is a straight rod threaded along its full length. It is cut to length and used with nuts and washers to hang, tie, clamp or span between two fixing points.

This listing has 10 variants covering sizes 10-24 to 1.

A2 stainless (grade 304) gives sound general corrosion resistance for inside work, fresh water and ordinary outdoor exposure. It is not the grade normally chosen for coastal, pool or marine work, where A4 (316) is recommended. UNC (Unified National Coarse) is the coarse inch-based thread. Small sizes are given as a number and threads per inch, such as 8-32 or 10-24, and larger sizes as fractions of an inch.

Stainless threads can gall (seize) when tightened under load or at speed. A smear of anti-seize on the thread and a steady tightening speed reduce the risk.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Match the thread system to the nuts and fittings you already have: metric coarse, metric fine, UNC and BSW rods are not interchangeable. Cut rods can leave a burr, so run a nut over the cut end before use. For coastal or chloride-exposed use, choose the A4 (316) version: Allthread Rod UNC 316 Stainless Steel.
