Fire Suppression
Sprinkler systems are secured to the ceiling by threaded rod. Zinc plated threaded rods are the preferred choice for most installations.
Commercial
In commercial construction nearly all electrical, mechanical and HVAC systems are fastened by threaded rod.
Infrastructure
High carbon threaded rod is used in infastructures such as the Pattullo bridge over the Fraser River in Vancouver. It allows precast concrete girders to be continuous for deck weight using high strength threaded rod over the piers.
Agricultural
Young grapes need to be trained to grow correctly. A strong training stake is required that will last for many years. Rolled steel bars are the best for vine training, especially if the vine is to be fastened to the fruit wire. These sturdy stakes will provide ample support for the vine during training and help protect it from machinery.
Mining
Threaded rods are an integral part of the packing and shipping process for threaded drill rods. The shipping reels are supported by specially sized threaded rod studs produced in National Socket’s facility in Canada using Canadian steel.
HVAC
Threaded rod is used extensively in HVAC systems. Zinc
plated or galvanized plated threaded rod is used in a wide
range of applications in HVAC systems, including use
with channel sections, beam clamps, ducting work and duct
hangers.
Residential
Threaded rod is used for applications in plumbing, electrical and structural components in residential construction. They provide a secure and stable connection between structural elements, steel beams and concrete slabs.
Entertainment
Municipal buildings and event venues such as the Rogers
Centre in Toronto use threaded rod in
construction. The HVAC systems, electrical and
mechanical systems are all fastened together with
threaded rod.
