The Minerallac 71963 is a 3/8"-16 x 6' threaded rod manufactured from Type 18-8 stainless steel, engineered for electrical support, hanging, and mounting applications where corrosion resistance and consistent thread engagement are required.

Minerallac 71963 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will 3/8"-16 threaded rod work with standard 3/8 inch strut nuts, hanger rod couplings, and beam clamps?
Yes. The Minerallac 71963 rod is 3/8"-16 UNC, which is the standard coarse thread for 3/8 inch support hardware, so it threads into common strut channel nuts, rod couplings, beam clamps, washers and hex nuts sized 3/8-16. Note that mating steel or zinc hardware on a stainless rod will corrode first in a wet environment, so in wash-down areas pair it with stainless nuts and fittings.
2) Is this threaded rod sold in 6 foot lengths that I cut on site, or do I order a set drop length?
It ships as a full 6 foot rod, threaded continuously end to end, and you cut it to the drop length you need in the field. Continuous threading means nuts and brackets can land anywhere along the rod rather than at fixed points. Cut ends should be dressed or chased so a nut still starts cleanly.
3) Do I need stainless threaded rod or is plain electro-galvanized rod good enough?
Plain galvanized rod is fine for dry interior conduit and tray drops. Go to the Minerallac 71963 Type 18-8 stainless rod when the drop is in a wash-down area, a food or pharma process space, a pool or natatorium, a wastewater or chemical room, or exposed exterior where carbon steel hardware rusts and eventually loses section. Stainless costs more per foot, so most contractors standardize galvanized for the building and stainless only in the corrosive rooms.
4) What does Type 18-8 stainless mean on a threaded rod?
18-8 is the austenitic 300-series grade, roughly 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel, the same family as 304. On the 71963 rod that gives good general corrosion resistance indoors and out and a non-magnetic, rust-free surface. It is not the high-chloride grade, so in heavy salt spray or marine splash zones buyers normally specify 316 instead.
5) Can I use this stainless rod to hang cable tray and strut channel, or is it only for conduit?
It is used for both. Typical uses for the 71963 are conduit and raceway support, cable tray and strut channel suspension, and hanging lighting fixtures and electrical equipment. Load capacity on any trapeze depends on the anchor, the strut, and the rod spacing, so size the drop per your engineer's detail or the tray manufacturer's span table.
6) What part number do I order for Minerallac 3/8 inch stainless threaded rod?
Minerallac part number 71963 covers the 3/8"-16 x 6 foot rod in Type 18-8 stainless. There is one size on this item, 3/8 inch, so there is no second option to pick when ordering.
7) Will stainless threaded rod seize up when I run a nut down it?
Stainless on stainless does gall, and 18-8 is one of the grades it happens to most. Run nuts on by hand or at low speed on the 71963 rod, keep the threads clean of grit, and use an anti-seize compound on long engagements. Chase or file any field-cut end before starting a nut.
8) Where is Minerallac 71963 threaded rod made?
Country of origin on the 71963 stainless rod is Taiwan. That matters on public work with domestic-material clauses, so check the spec section before you submit it on a Buy America job.
