M3 x 400mm Fully Threaded Rod – HiPicco 304 Stainless Steel 5 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The HiPicco M3 fully threaded rod series is engineered for precision and durability in a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Each rod measures 400 mm (15.75 in) in length with a standard M3 diameter and a 0.5 mm right‑hand thread pitch, delivering consistent engagement with compatible nuts and tapped holes. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the rods inherit the alloy’s renowned corrosion resistance, ensuring long‑term performance even in harsh, moisture‑laden environments. The material also offers excellent tensile strength and toughness, allowing the rods to be cut, drilled, heated, or reshaped without compromising structural integrity. Packaged in a convenient 5‑piece set that includes matching stainless steel nuts, the product simplifies inventory management and reduces the need for separate component purchases. With a lightweight design of just 3.17 oz per rod, handling and installation are effortless, while the right‑hand thread orientation aligns with standard fastening conventions across most hardware systems.

Usage

These fully threaded rods excel in applications where continuous threading is essential. Engineers and fabricators frequently employ them for anchor bolts, where the rod serves as a reliable anchor point for structural connections. The rods are equally suitable for custom clamps, hangers, and U‑bolts, providing a versatile foundation for securing equipment, piping, and electrical conduits. In the automotive and aerospace sectors, the stainless steel composition resists oxidation and chemical exposure, making the rods ideal for mounting brackets and vibration dampening assemblies. DIY hobbyists appreciate the ease with which the rods can be trimmed to exact lengths, drilled for additional holes, or bent to accommodate unique design constraints. Because the rods are supplied with matching nuts, users can quickly assemble fasteners without searching for compatible hardware, streamlining project timelines and minimizing downtime.

FAQ

What is the maximum load capacity of these M3 stainless steel rods?

The rods are designed to handle typical fastening loads for anchor bolts, clamps, and similar applications. Exact load capacity depends on installation conditions, but the 304 stainless steel material provides a high tensile strength suitable for most industrial uses.

Can the rods be welded or brazed for permanent installations?

Yes, 304 stainless steel can be welded using appropriate stainless steel welding techniques. Proper cleaning and filler material selection are recommended to maintain corrosion resistance at the joint.

Do the included nuts match the thread pitch of the rods?

All nuts in the package are sized to match the M3 × 0.5 mm right‑hand thread of the rods, ensuring a secure and snug fit without the need for additional components.

Are these rods suitable for outdoor applications?

Absolutely. The 304 stainless steel composition offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making the rods ideal for outdoor installations, marine environments, and areas with high humidity.

What is the recommended method for cutting the rods to a shorter length?

For precise cuts, use a fine‑toothed hacksaw or a rotary cutting tool with a metal‑cutting disc. After cutting, deburr the ends to remove sharp edges and ensure smooth thread engagement.
