Product Overview
ASTM A307 Grade A threaded rods are low carbon steel fasteners manufactured to the ASTM A307 specification, designed for general-purpose, non-critical bolting applications. These rods are produced from mild steel and are supplied in a plain, hot-dip galvanized, or zinc-plated finish. They are commonly used for anchoring, bracing, and joining structural elements in construction, HVAC, and light industrial assemblies where high strength is not required.
ASTM A307 Grade A threaded rods are available in a wide range of diameters and lengths, with coarse or fine thread forms per ASME B1.1 (Unified Inch) or ISO metric standards. They are not intended for high-pressure or high-temperature service but offer reliable performance for everyday fastening needs in building and infrastructure projects.
