Overview

The ABB Installation Products R 1038 Continuous Threaded Rod is a precision-engineered, galvanized steel rod designed for heavy-duty industrial and construction applications requiring reliable structural support. This 10-foot rod features a 3/8-inch diameter with 16 threads per inch (3/8-16 UNCR series), ensuring compatibility with standard threaded fittings, conduit hangers, and strut systems. The continuous threading allows for adjustable connections without the need for additional couplings, simplifying installation and reducing labor costs. Rated for an ultimate load of 1,900 pounds (862 kg) with a design load of 610 pounds (277 kg) at a safety factor of 5, this rod meets ANSI/MSS SP-58 standards for threaded rod assemblies. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor, high-moisture, or chemically aggressive environments. Each rod is manufactured from high-strength steel, ensuring consistent performance in applications such as machinery assembly, piping support, electrical conduit suspension, and HVAC ductwork. Key applications include: - Suspending overhead conduit runs with conduit hangers or strut systems - Structural support for machinery, piping, and ductwork - Adjustable anchoring in concrete, wood, or steel substrates - Use with rod hangers, angle brackets, and offset brackets for versatile mounting The R 1038 is sold per piece (not per foot) and requires a compatible rod hanger driver (e.g., ABB part #59679) for installation. For projects requiring stainless steel or PVC-coated alternatives, ABB offers compatible rods in Type 304/316 stainless or PVC-coated configurations. Trust ABB Installation Products for fasteners that meet rigorous industry standards and deliver long-term reliability.
