Threaded Rod Sizes

Working with threaded rod is pretty straightforward, especially for those who have already worked with various sorts of big screws and bolts, such as carriage bolts. 

Threaded rod is typically used when the needed length is significantly more than that of most standard screws or bolts. 

Unlike most bolts, which are only threaded on one end, real threaded rod is threaded all the way through or on both ends. Unlike bolts, the needed sections of threaded rod are usually cut to size from a larger piece, which means that in most situations, the threaded rod will not have any form of head to facilitate hammering or driving the section.

Apart from these distinctions, the process of installing a threaded bar is fairly similar to that of placing a bolt or screw.
