Product Overview
ASTM A307 Grade B threaded rods are carbon steel fasteners manufactured to meet the requirements of ASTM A307 for mechanical properties and dimensional tolerances. These rods are designed for use in cast iron flanged joints in piping systems, as well as in general construction and structural applications where moderate strength is required. Grade B rods are produced from low-carbon steel and are supplied with coarse threads, making them suitable for bolting flanged joints and other assemblies where high tensile strength is not critical.
ASTM A307 Grade B threaded rods are widely specified for waterworks, fire protection, and low-pressure piping systems, and are recognized for their reliability, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness. They are available in a range of diameters and lengths, with full or partial threading, and can be supplied plain, hot-dip galvanized, or zinc-plated for enhanced corrosion resistance.
